MicrosoftTeams PostMessageToChannelV3 fails

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone.

I've recently started building PowerApps (I am new to coding in general) for my company, and I've run into a problem.

When I try to create a button that just posts a chat message to the IT support team (as a ping for help), the features fails.

Here's my code: 

MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannelV3(
"group ID", 
"19:channelID@thread.skype", 
{
content: "I need help",
contentType: "text"
},
{
subject: "Need assistance with IT support"
}
)

And here's the error message:

I hope someone can shed some light on what's missing 🙂

Hi,

Looking through your issue, I am not quite certain what the issue is in your PowerApp, I think your call to Teams is getting messed up and its a bit more complicated then what you put in. However I would suggest using a call to Flow which would make this significantly easier. If you just pass the information from PowerApps over into a Flow and had the Flow create the message in the channel you are trying to do it would make the entire process a lot easier to create. Just have the button trigger a Flow and have the Flow make the post to the Teams channel.

Regards,

Alex

Created a Flow as suggested by Alex and it just works. I did try the Power App solution again, but same error message happened. I really hope this will get a fix in the future as it would be great if you could implement the option into a more flexible solution.
