Objectifs :
This guide aims to provide a step-by-step process for creating an instant flow that posts a team's message in a specific channel on Microsoft Teams, utilizing SharePoint for file management.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Instant Flows
Instant flows are automated workflows that can be triggered manually by users. This guide will demonstrate how to set up an instant flow that posts messages in a Microsoft Teams channel whenever a file is added to a SharePoint document library. -
Creating the Flow
To begin creating your instant flow, follow these steps: 1. **Select a Flow Template**: Start by choosing a flow template that suits your needs. 2. **Choose the Button Category**: Search for the flow using relevant keywords. 3. **Select the Appropriate Flow**: Look for the flow that integrates SharePoint and Teams. -
Configuring the Flow
Once you have selected the flow, you will be redirected to the flow construction space, which is prefilled with the template. Here’s how to configure it: 1. **Define the Team or SharePoint Site**: Specify the team or SharePoint site associated with the flow. 2. **Customize the Flow Trigger**: Add a customizable message and an additional date field to indicate when the file was added. -
Retrieving File Information
The next step involves retrieving the file information to generate the message for the team. Follow these steps: 1. **Specify the Team and Library**: Indicate the team and the specific document library concerned. 2. **Define the Channel**: In the final step, specify the channel and team that will receive the message. -
Finalizing the Message
The message that will be sent to the team will include: - A standard text - An HTML link pointing to the file - The file's name - A sentence followed by the date field added earlier After configuring these elements, save your flow. -
Testing the Flow
To test your flow: 1. **Access the SharePoint Site**: Navigate to the SharePoint site corresponding to your team. 2. **Select a File**: Choose a file and click on the three small dots in the menu. 3. **Automate the Process**: Select 'Automate' and find your flow, which may require connector validation. 4. **Fill in Required Fields**: During the first use, fill in the message and date fields. 5. **Check the Generated Message**: After execution, verify the message in the team’s channel. -
Troubleshooting
If the link appears as plain text, you will need to manually correct the HTML code. To do this: 1. **Return to Your Flow**: Go back to the flow settings. 2. **Switch to Code Editing Mode**: Use the icon at the top right to access code editing. 3. **Adjust the HTML Syntax**: Make the necessary adjustments to the HTML code. 4. **Test Again**: Run the flow once more and check the message in the team’s channel. -
Conclusion
Your instant flow is now fully functional. By following these steps, you can automate the process of posting messages in Microsoft Teams whenever a file is added to SharePoint, enhancing team communication and efficiency.
