Solved: MS Teams Post in HTML

Hi,

I created a flow to post messages in MS Teams when an item has been created in an SP list. But it's coming out as HTML.

Help! 😐

The person type column returns the data in format as you have shown but you can just get the person display name as well. So in the Post a Message action, for the person name, you can select the Assigned to Display Name from the dynamic selector or use the expression triggerOutputs()?['body/AssignedTo/DisplayName']

The date columns are returned in the ISO 8601 format. So you can use the expression:

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/DueDate'],'dd-MMM-yyyy') for a better readable format.

Hope this Helps!
