Post hyperlink to Teams group chat sometimes not work.

Posted on by 271

I have a Power Automate flow that will post message with hyperlink in html table.

The message and link content will be different depends on some condition but it always have a html table.

The action boxes arrangement is:

Select Rows from SQL -> Select -> Create html table -> Compose (to replace the html code as below) -> Post to Team group chat.

replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table_Directlink'),'&lt;','<'),'&gt;','>'),'&quot;','"')

But I have no idea why, the hyperlink is shown as a proper link sometimes while sometimes it showed as plain text:
<a href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">Link</a>

I checked the output property of "Compose" in workflow history. It always the same regardless it is a success or failed team message.

What could be the reason?

    Here you go!  I think this will work right away to get your link posted.

    Use Markdown formatting in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support

    @trice602 Thanks for your reply. I have tried to learn Adaptive card before but there are multiple version of designer with completely different schema. I watched some videos and they are using old card designer with old schemas. I have no idea how to start.
     
    Do you mind point me to one that is easy to implement in current environment. All I need to do is post a table with hyperlink in content.

    Hi there!

    Make sure you are using the latest Post Message V3 action OR and adaptive card.  That's my first guess since it works most of the time; it's probably the way an older action is rendering the URL.  Update the action and retry!
