Sharepoint News Connector error when trying to add to MS Teams
Hi, I am consistently getting the following error message when trying to add a Sharepoint News Connector to a channel once I try and configure it. When I press configure and then press save this comes up . Any Ideas or anyone else experiencing this?

- Got the same problem as well, agree this connector is flakey as news posts can take from minutes to hours to post in the Teams Channel.
- We are having this problem in my organization as well, I had to create a power automate workflow as a backup. Hopefully this is resolved soon.
The Sharepoint News Connector has never worked well. We've tried using it for almost a couple of years now since moving to Teams, and even if it works, it will stop working in a month or 2. Would have to constantly remove and re-add it to get it working again. Now we're getting the same error mentioned above when trying to re-add it to a channel.
What does your flow look like? That seems like a great solution since Power Automate seems to be much more stable than the connector has been. I quickly tried using the template for "Post a message to Teams when a new item is added to a Sharepoint list", but it's not detecting the News Articles as a valid list
- I have the same problem. Does not work.
- I have the same problem. There was no problem last month.
- See if this helps, if not perhaps better open up a support ticket.
