Post a Teams message when a task is created adding due date and bucket name.

[therrean]

I will like to enhance the message that the existing template of posting a message on Teams when a task is created.

Can I have some help so that message includes the task title, due date and bucket name.

At the moment the flow posts the task title but the due data includes time that is irrelevant and the bucket ID that is a long ineligible number.

Is it possible to do this? 

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi @therrean 

to bring the due date into the correct format, you can use the new feature "format data by examples":

Click into the teams action "message" and instead of adding a dynamic content, select "Expression" and select "Format data by examples":

Then you can select the due date dynamic value, provide an example and the desired output you are looking for, e.g.:

Within "Desired output" just add the format you are looking for. Click on "Get expressions" and then "Apply" (you can also try out the suggested expression first using different examples).

The bucket id is not included within this trigger, you would need to first add an action "List buckets", filter this e.g. using "filter array" and then you can add the bucket name into your teams message.

Does this help you? Otherwise please give me some more information.

Best regards
Marvin

Hi @therrean,

I have created sample For You.

1. The Trigger Action Is Use When a new task is created .

2. The Second Action Is List buckets.

3. After That Use Filter Array Action.

4. Use Post message in a chat or channel Action.

Format Date Time Expression

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/dueDateTime'],'dd-MM-yyyyTHH:mm')

Bucket name expression

body('Filter_array')?[0]?['Name']

Complete flow
