Use Microsoft Flow to send a message to Microsoft Teams

Yesterday I wrote short blog post on how you could use a Webhook Connector to send data from PowerShell to Microsoft Teams.

For more info on Microsoft Teams check this video or the step-by-step introduction video to learn more.

Today I wanted to try to use Microsoft Flow to send a message to Microsoft Teams using the same webhook I created yesterday.

And it turned out it was pretty simple to get it working. I thought I would share it immediately.

If you don’t know Microsoft Flow yet, it’s Microsoft’s IFTTT service. Check the link for more info.

Open Microsoft Flow.

Add a new step.

Choose Delay (or something else)

Enter the values for the delay

Add a new HTTP step

Don’t forget to enter you Microsoft Teams webhook value in the Uri field.

Give your Flow a Name and select Create Flow.

You can now use the Flow App on your mobile device to trigger the Flow.

And when the delay is finished we see the message in Microsoft Teams.

How cool is this?

Have a great weekend.
