Use Microsoft Flow to send a message to Microsoft Teams

  • Article

Yesterday I wrote short blog post on how you could use a Webhook Connector to send data from PowerShell to Microsoft Teams.

For more info on Microsoft Teams check this video or the step-by-step introduction video to learn more.

Today I wanted to try to use Microsoft Flow to send a message to Microsoft Teams using the same webhook I created yesterday.

And it turned out it was pretty simple to get it working. I thought I would share it immediately.

If you don’t know Microsoft Flow yet, it’s Microsoft’s IFTTT service. Check the link for more info.

Open Microsoft Flow.

Select Create from blank.

Choose a trigger you want to use. I choose for Button.

image

Add a new step.

image

Choose Delay (or something else)

image

Enter the values for the delay

image

Add a new HTTP step

image

Don’t forget to enter you Microsoft Teams webhook value in the Uri field.

Give your Flow a Name and select Create Flow.

You can now use the Flow App on your mobile device to trigger the Flow.

And when the delay is finished we see the message in Microsoft Teams.

How cool is this?

Have a great weekend.

      Hi Francesco,Sorry it's not working. Did you double check the Microsoft Teams Webhook uri? Did you add any quotes to it? There should not be any quotes./Stefan

    I used the webhook to connect a Flic-Button (a real physical button) to Teams at my session "Office 365 and IoT" at the European SharePoint Conference in Vienna see the recording starting at minute 31:46 https://youtu.be/389es9mYmLI

    Do you think it is possible to forward an email that was received in a group conversation to a teams channel? Or is it possible to directly send an email to a teams channel?

    I've set it all up on a webhook that I have working from other tools, but I keep getting 400: bad payload on generic webhook. For a payload of { "test": "button pressed" }; Any idea what I'm messing up?
