Yes. However, unless they fixed it, unfortunately using FLow to post a message in Teams doesn't trigger notifications / activity bell for users. So if that's a requirement you need to look at creating a web hook, that posts this same JSON and then subscribe to it with connector on the channel you want them to go into, that will give you notifications.

    Another good resource for this if the flow still isn't posting notifications. Kind of touches on that, it's what I used when I was messing with this, was pretty easy to create a Webhook to use.

      this just postes the JSON code to teams

      So no card being created.

        im so confused about this.

        i need some very simple flow example that post a JSON card into teams.

         

        All my googling and tries are not giving any result.

        I get a bunch of different erros all the time.

         

        Here is my latest try, if you have any input to give im very happy.
