Hey How can i use microsoft flow to create good looking posts in Microsoft Teams I have read about something called JSON and something called webhooks and creating rich cards in microsoft teams.How can i careate these cards with predefined information. For example.I have a form that i now use flow to post a message in teams every time someone fills out the form (microsoft forms).But i would like to make the message that is posted in teams look better.With a JSON card.... What do i need to do this?I have googled around. Finding lots of information... but it is a bit to advanced for me... can someone dumb it down?

So the easy way that I do is load up the App studio editor app in Teams, then inside of that app is a tab for Card Editor, you can easily generate a card look there and copy it, then just insert your dynamic data to get a good looking card.

Well I take that back they changed it, I need to find if it's still available but there was something somewhere that you could build out cards via UI and then copy the JSON, looking :P.

In the meantime here is a good reference for the cards however with examples you can use and just plug that into Flow and add in the dynamic fields and your good to go: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/actionable-messages/message-card-reference

Thanks, this look very good. But where do i paste in the code in flow to make it post in teamscan i just use the Teams and post message command in flow? screenshot: http://prntscr.com/krgfe1

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.
