Post Team Message then Reply Message

[Dane_]

Hi,

I've used a basic template where a SharePoint file is added to a folder, it adds a message to Teams, requests Approval, then posts a message back to the Team.

I've tried changing the Flow to post a reply to the original Team message but I'm unsure how to get the Message ID to pass to the Reply. The only dynamic content that is available is the Team Body?

Can I do what I'm wanting to do and if so, please could someone point me in teh right direction.

Appreciate any help.

Hi Dane, 

there is no way to getthe message Id in a nice way from the post message return data.

you can do something a bit ugly and use the get messages action and go over the messages with a condition to find the one you need which you post before and extract the id

Thanks for the feedback, I'm currently looking at this putting something together.

It's not the cleanest, as you say, but I think i can get the job done.

Instead of using Dynamic Content, use Expression using this: body('Post_message')?['id']
