    Hi Tracey11

    Praise 'could' get metrics if, for example, you added a prefix to the praise message, used that as a trigger in Power Automate and that went into a list to analyse. However, that's way to convoluted and probably impractical org wide.

    You would be looking for an app in Teams with metrics. Kudos would be such an App

    https://www.kudos.com/

    Praise is very basic. Whilst Kudos would have a cost, if it's linked to KPI's and bonuses for example then it's important to get the right app

    Hope that answers your question

    Best, Chris

Hi Steve. I have my main team chat in the Teams Chat area. One chat has all my team members in it and we converse during the day in this chat. Can this automation be made for these chats or only in channels? My team doesn't really use the channels ...we just use the Chat in Teams.

    LinHolker you sure can. We'd just need to get the chat ID. So, to do this, you will need to replace the start with when a new message is added. Then in the message details, use the dynamic content and select the group chat you are a member of.

    Keep all of the trigger conditions the same as below.

      Thanks Stephen. So, it doesn't matter that the flow trigger is 'When a new channel message is added'?

       

      Could you also please advise of the Expression for Initialize variable 2? It's not in your notes

       

       

      And just confirming, we are keeping the original Initialialize Variable in the flow - wasn't sure in your notes but think this is correct?

       
      I'm also coming across the this expression below is invalid for the Create Item SharePoint action. Any ideas? I've tripled checked it.

        LinHolker did you ever manage to figure out the invalid expression for the Create Item SharePoint action?  My badges do not show... can anyone help?
