For users of the Teams-Spirit enterprise application, the connector provides the ability to automate Teams-related business processes with Flow and connect them to all other applications available in Flow. Teams metadata related to a team's categorization, usage, or lifecycle can be used as a trigger for a flow. Conversely, a team's metadata can be modified and augmented by Flow actions. Users and permissions can also be customized via flow. Overall, there are significantly more actions available than in the default Teams Connector.

Prerequisites

You will need the following to proceed:

  • Teams-Spirit Microsoft Entra ID Enterprise Application (usually this will be present if you are using Teams-Spirit)
  • Teams-Spirit Subscription

How to get credentials

Once you create a Flow using one of the actions or triggers the Teams-Spirit Connector provides, you will be prompted to sign-in. In order to sign-in Teams-Spirit has to be in you Microsoft Entra IDs Enterprise Applications which will be the case if you are already using Teams-Spirit outside of PowerAutomate.

Get started with your connector

If you want a Flow to be triggered by a Teams-Spirit Rule you can create a new Flow with the Action-Trigger. Once you have given it a name it will register itself in Teams-Spirit and will be available in the Rule-Engine. You can send every parameter available in the Teams-Spirit Rule to the Flow and use it to further automate your workflows. Use:

A new ''Automated Cloud Flow'' must first be created that uses the Teams-Spirit action trigger.

This requires the following steps:

  1. Create a new ''Automated Cloud Flow'' in Power Automate.
    • When creating the flow, the user is asked to select a trigger for the flow.
      If the Teams-Spirit action trigger is not available there, the selection must be skipped.
  2. Adding the teams-spirit action trigger.
    • After initially skipping the selection, the user is asked to select a trigger for the flow
    • Under the tab ''Custom'' the ''Teams-Spirit'' Connector can be selected, which provides the ''Action-Trigger''
  3. Select the name (see Input parameters)

Input parameter:

name
input-type description
Name Dropdown / Custom Value The name that will later be used to trigger by the Teams-Spirit rules engine.
If an existing name is selected from the dropdown, all flows that use this name will be triggered by the corresponding action.

Output:

name
data type description
body JSON text The payload generated by the Teams-Spirit action.

Known issues and limitations

Pay attention about duplicate flow names
  • It is possible to register two or more Flow-Trigger with the same name.
  • That can be usefull, if a single Rule in the Teams-Spirit Rule-Engine should trigger more than one flow.
  • If you don't want that, take care to give your flow a unique name.
Payload

The payload, defined in a Teams-Spirit Rule, must be specified in JSON format. If it is syntactically incorrect, the flow cannot be triggered.

Any data in JSON format can be specified in the payload. Furthermore, placeholders are also supported here, for which it is important to note which data type they have in order to comply with the JSON syntax.

An example payload could look like this:

'''json { "groupId": ${group.id}, "memberIds": ${group.members}, "myOwnKey": "myOwnValue" } '''

Note that ''${group.members}'' is a collection of user IDs, so it does not need to be enclosed in quotes to be interpreted correctly.

Common errors and remedies

It is crucial to use the "Parse JSON" action after the Action-Trigger. This is because the object which is passed by Teams-Spirit will be defined by you inside the Teams-Spirit Rule. The "Parse JSON" action and therefore your Flow will fail if it is not valid JSON.

Creating a connection

The connector supports the following authentication types:

Default Parameters for creating connection. All regions Not shareable
