Workflow + Form Details + Post to Specific Channels in Teams

[dclynch7]

Hey all, 

I'm trying to set conditions for a digital hall pass for high school using the following scenario: 

Students submit responses to a form that includes - first name, last name, destination, period of the class they are in (1-8). 

My current workflow is: 

When response submitted

Get Response Details (Response ID)

Post Message in chat or channel (User)

I am able to create the workflow currently to post all responses in a single channel but I am hoping to create conditions that would perform the following task. 

When response submitted

Get Response Details (Response ID)

If Period 1

Post Message in chat or channel (User) for Period 1

If Period 2

Post Message in chat or channel (User) for Period 2

What would be the most effective solution for this beyond creating individual forms for each period...Please explain it like I am 5.

Thank you!

Hi @dclynch7 , 

you wrote, that the studens are submitting in which period they are (1-8). 

If so, you can grab this information and und use a switch control to assign the message to the correct teams.

I would recommend you somtething like this.
there is your formsInput (trigger) then create a Compose with the text to post later.

the use a switch with a concat expression to convert the number in a string with a letter -> cause if u just use a number, the switch can not read the 'Equals' (yes i know, this is stupid)

then put the text in the equals and create for each classperiod a switch and there the teams action in whcih u can define.

this would be the answer for you at the starting level (advanced would be an other answer - more variable)

That worked! I had a suspicion that numbers wouldn't work when doing the switch method so I am glad you followed up with the "numbers won't work" advice. I changed the form to be non-integers and worked immediately.
