    tr0nic7 I finally figured this one out, it was driving me crazy! 

     

    It's not documented anywhere officially by Microsoft, but you can make an HTTP request to SharePoint to designate which message thread will show up in the conversation tab. I attempted to write up the whole process. It seems complicated at first, but it works consistently and I'm now using it to make my business's comms about list items run more smoothly.

      Hey chasestreetdev , Can you explain how you were able to do this? I am unable to open the hyperlink which was attached. This would help a lot!

    Hi, please can you explain this a little further?  Do you want to use a Power Automate flow to start a Teams chat?

      PeterRising i want to start a conversation about a lists item with a flow. 

       

      The flow should do exactly what Microsoft described here: Start a conversation about a Lists item

      It is a rather new feature so there is probably no template for it yet.

       

      I will be happy to receive your reply.
