Problem with Yammer connector

[AngryBatVoice]

I built a manually triggered Flow that connects to Yammer and Sharepoint.  When you trigger the Flow, it prompts you for the ThreadID of a conversation on Yammer.  Once you plug that in, it grabs that conversation (Get messages in a thread (preview)) , then adds the name of everyone who 'Liked' the message using this field from the Get messages step: (Message List Message Names Full Name).

The Flow runs successfully, but only brings in some of the names of employees who liked the message specified.  I know the "Get messages in thread" action says it is in Preview.  If this is a bug where is the best place to provide feedback or get support with this connector?   Or am I just using it wrong?

I decided to try to get a better view of what information was coming from this connector so I threw together a PowerApp that grabs the entered Thread ID number and collects the messages in that thread.

In the collection, there is a liked_by field that is a table of data.  When I drill in to that, there are 2 fields, "count" and "names".  The number in the count field is accurate to the number of likes on the message.  But the names listed is fewer than the number from count.

Hi @AngryBatVoice ,

Could you please explain more details about your requirement for the flow?

What I'm trying to do is build a giveaway drawing incentive for interactions on Yammer.  So I'm wanting my Employee Engagement Team to be able to put a post on Yammer that says "Like this message to be entered in a drawing."

Using Flow, I want to grab the names of everyone who liked the message and put them in a Sharepoint list, then I'll have the flow pick a random winner from the list.

Looking at the outputs of the Get messages in a thread action yields the same thing I was seeing in PowerApps:

"liked_by": {
      "count": 5,
      "names": [
        {
          "full_name": "Brodie Krause",
          "permalink": FIRST_USERS_PERMALINK,
          "user_id": FIRST_USERS_ID,
          "network_id": NETWORK_ID
        },
        {
          "full_name": SECOND_USERS_FULL_NAME,
          "permalink": SECOND_USERS_PERMALINK,
          "user_id": SECOND_USERS_ID,
          "network_id":  NETWORK_ID
        },
        {
          "full_name": THIRD_USERS_FULL_NAME,
          "permalink": THIRD_USERS_PERMALINK,
          "user_id": THIRD_USERS_ID,
          "network_id":  NETWORK_ID
        }

So the count shows 5, but only 3 names are returned.

Hi AngryBatVoice,

I'm facing the problem. Have you found any solution? Or explanation?

Unfortunately no. Despite the connector actions being out of Preview and at V2, it still does not return the complete list of names of users who liked a message.  The count remains accurate, but the list of names is not.

And the selection of Triggers for Yammer is pretty sparse too.  I was thinking that maybe they added a trigger for when a message gets Liked, but unfortunately it is still just the Trigger for new messages in a group and now there's one for new messages in my followed feed.

Pretty sad, as there's a lot of potential for power in pairing Power Automate and Yammer.  But it is pretty clear at this point that if it isn't Sharepoint or Premium, we aren't getting robust connectors.
