How do I send a message to myself with PowerAutomate?
I want to use the function "post message in chat or channel", I can send messages to anyone in "one to one" private chats but not on the private chat I have with myself.
Has somebody found a way to message himself via power automate?
I can't create it as a "new chat" in PA because it says users cannot be duplicate.
Then I figured out I had to find the ID of the chat with myself. I tried using the microsoft graph api to retrieve the id from "me/chats" but the chat with myself is not shown. I tried many different filters and expansions with no success.
I also tried analyzing the id itself and discovered that, in the case of "one to one" chats, it's made of {the sender id} and {the receiver id}
I then tried constructing an id that contains 19:{myuserid}_{myuserid}@{domain} but it responds that there is no record.
I tried many combinations, thanks for the help.

Send Teams direct message (chat) to recipent instead of only posting to a Team channel · Community (powerautomate.com)
Add an action to send a message to individual(s) in Microsoft Teams · Community (powerautomate.com)Hopefully Microsoft can implement a fix to this this issue that seems to be in high demand.
