flow to post a team's message in a specific channel.

00:00:08

When you add a file,

00:00:10

this flow will be manually triggered by you or a member of your team.

00:00:14

First select a flow template,

00:00:18

choose the button category and search for the flow using a keyword.

00:00:24

Select the flow that associates SharePoint and teams.

00:00:29

After validation,

00:00:30

you will be redirected to the flow construction space prefilled by the template.

00:00:36

You can configure the steps there starting by defining

00:00:39

the team or SharePoint site associated with it.

00:00:43

In

00:00:43

this example, it is the document library concerned by this flow

00:00:48

accompany the flow trigger with a customizable message and add

00:00:52

an additional date field to indicate the file's addition date.

00:00:56

The second step of the flow involves retrieving

00:00:58

the file information to generate the team's message.

00:01:00

Specify the team and the concerned library. Again.

00:01:06

In the final step, define the channel and the team that will receive the message.

00:01:11

This message will be prefilled with a standard text,

00:01:14

an html link pointing to the file and its name,

00:01:19

add a sentence followed by the date field added in the first step.

00:01:26

Save your flow. The test button is unnecessary for an immediate flow

Go to the SharePoint site corresponding to your team's team.

00:01:38

Select a file,

00:01:40

click on the three small dots in the menu and choose automate,

00:01:44

find your flow which will require connector validation. During the first use,

00:01:51

fill in the message and date fields.

00:01:54

Once executed, check the generated message in the team's channel.

00:01:58

If the link appears as text, you will need to manually correct the html code.

00:02:04

Return to your flow.

00:02:05

Switch to code editing mode with the icon at the top right and adjust the html syntax.

00:02:10

Test your flow again and check the team's message.
