Mark a message in a channel as important using flow bot

[FThorsson]

Hi!

Is there a way to mark a message as important using a flow bot on a channel? Can't seem to find any prebuilt functionality or HTML-tags I can use.

Best regards,

To do that you would need to use a Power Automate flow, but at this point none of the Power Automate actions have access to the Importance flags in channel messages.  It is a requested feature and you can vote for it here:

Mark a Teams Message Post with Importance - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Hi @Pstork1,

As far as I am aware it is possible to use the Graph API as a workaround. You can post a teams message and set the importance property to high in the body.

In Teams the end result looks like this.
