Post to channel as user

[Matthew5]

Morning, 

Run flow connectors as the user - Power Platform Release Plan | Microsoft Docs

I had hoped with the release granting ability to run flow as user that it would mean you could post to a Teams channel as the user. I can't figure out a way to do this, is it possible yet to post on a Teams page as chat-bot user and now flow owner?

If not, does anyone have any examples of flow connectors they've used which can be ran as the user?

Thank you

Hi @Matthew5 ,

Yes, this feature is not available yet but I hope to have it ready as soon as Microsoft can.

Before that one, you can look at this workaround, which is very useful also: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/teams/advanced-proactive-message-teams?WT.mc_i...

Thanks Renato! 

The pro-active messaging is really useful! I had been using it message chat-bot users with updates on new content available within the bot... I think sadly it struggles with messaging over 100 users and I've had to turn it off for now.

@renatoromao I'm trying to play around with posting as flow bot instead with an @mention token but when trying to add in the flow it states that a premium licence is required. Is the mention token a premium licence feature? Thank you
