Schedule daily recurring messages in Teams chat channels

[MSKeith]

This is my first post on this site!

How do I set up a recurring message in a Teams chat channel? I want to remind my team daily at a specific time to put their project stand up status into our project channel. I'm assuming this would be a bot? If so, how can I find the bot?

Thank you,

Susan Keithley

@MSKeith this can be done with Power Automate

• Go to https://make.powerautomate.com/
• Select Create
• Choose Scheduled Cloud Flow
• Add a Flow name (e.g. Regular Project Update)
• Add a starting date and time
• Select your repeat options (this may be limiting depending on your need)
• Select Create
• Select New Step
• Search for Post message in chat or channel (Microsoft Teams)
  • Choose to post as the Flow Bot or User
  • Follow the prompts to choose an existing channel or a group chat 
  • Enter the message to send
• Select Save

Below is an example, posting into a General channel in a team named MSFT.

Thank you for your feedback! I will give this a try.

Hey can you set up a recurring message to go out to a group of people individually? They will not respond in a group chat but I need to message all of them each week.

@Chelsea92 off the top of my head (haven’t tested), you could create a List that contains all the people and then use a “For Each” loop to send each person a message.
