Using Post to a channel when a webhook request is received workflow for notifications to teams channel.

We are migrating from O365 connectors to Workflows  - while testing posts to workflows from python script i am seeing this issue.

 

ExpressionEvaluationFailed. The execution of template action 'Send_each_adaptive_card' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@triggerOutputs()?['body']?['attachments']' is of type 'Null'. The result must be a valid array.

 

Please let me know how to fix this.

I think that you will need to use the right format for adaptive card, such as the following in Python:

json = {
   "type":"message",
   "attachments":[
      {
         "contentType":"application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
         "content":{
            "$schema":"http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
            "type":"AdaptiveCard",
            "version":"1.2",
            "body":[
               {
                  "type":"TextBlock",
                  "text":"Some error occurred",
                  "color":"warning",
                  "wrap":True
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   ]
}

requests.post(url, json=json, headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

Hii @Shankar18 

The error message indicates that the attachments field in the webhook request's body is null or not an array, causing the foreach loop to fail.

 

Solution:

  1. Ensure that the webhook request from the Python script includes the attachments field in the body.
  2. Verify the structure of the webhook request payload.
  3. Before the foreach loop, add a condition to check if attachments is not null and is an array.
  4. You can use a condition or initialize a variable with a default value if attachments is missing.

Hello everybody,
I am also having problems converting Office connector to Workflow,
Currently I need to send messages via MS Teams using webhooks with commands
// on Windows
curl.exe -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{'text':'Hello World'}" <YOUR WEBHOOK URL>
When I switched, I couldn't do this anymore.

Workflow can only run step "When a Teams webhook request is received"

In the return of the webhook url

I have tried many card adapters searching on google but they don't work. My request is simply to send a plaintext message to the Teams channel. If possible, I would like to send an alert from Zabbix to the Teams channel. Previously, the webhook worked fine, but when I switched the workflow, I didn't know how to configure it

Thank in advanced

It worked, here is my powershell script

# Định nghĩa URL của HTTP POST
$webhookUrl = "URL"

$adaptiveCardPayload = @{

Hi I am also having difficulty migrating O365 connectors to workflow. Previously I am using pymsteams library in python to send a message to my teams channel. It is HTML report. But I can't get the same result using workflows.

 

For Example, my report looks like this with webhooks in the teams channel:

brani145_0-1720652474696.png

I am using this code in Python for current webhooks. 

import pymsteams
import sys


mymessage = pymsteams.connectorcard("Webhook_URL")
with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as file:
mymessage.text(file.read())
mymessage.send()

 

How can I achieve the same result using workflow? I have the workflow URL generated. Does the adaptive card have this capability?

 

I took the reference from one of the above reply and used this code:

import pymsteams
import sys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


# Read the HTML file path from the command line
html_file_path = sys.argv[1]

# Read the HTML file
with open(html_file_path, 'r') as file:
html_content = file.read()

# Use BeautifulSoup to strip HTML tags and get plain text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')
text_content = soup.get_text()

# Create the adaptive card payload
adaptive_card_payload = {
"type": "message",
"attachments": [
{
"contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
"content": {
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.2",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": text_content,
"wrap": True
}
]
}
}
]
}

# connector card object with workflow URL
workflow_url = "https://prod2..."
mymessage = pymsteams.connectorcard(workflow_url)

# Add the adaptive card payload to the message
mymessage.payload = adaptive_card_payload

# Send the message
mymessage.send()

 

But it sends the file in plain text. How can I achieve the same results? Any help will be appreciated

yes, You probably just used an adaptercard like my comment.
Sorry, I haven't found html support at the moment. I'm also having difficulty using Zabbix alerts via MS Teams workflow as it doesn't support html.
Hope someone will help us.

Hi MinhHoangn , thanks for Your script ! , let ChatGPT help you make script Zabbix alerts via MS Teams, copy paste your script to chat GPT then type " translate this script powershell to script bash linux" 

Thank you, But It's not as simple as translating from powershell to shell. Because it is related to many other things.
