Jira Automation -> MS Teams message with table

[jprieto]

I am not able to use tables from Jira Automation to Microsoft Teams using the format:

| Col 1, Row 1 | Col 2, Row 1 | Col 3, Row 1 |

| Col 1, Row 2 | Col 2, Row 2 | Col 3, Row 2 |

Previously with MS Connectors this works. would result in a formatted table in Microsoft Teams.  However now that I am using Power Automate/Flows, the table comes unformatted.  Does anyone have any tips in getting this to work?

The output I get is not a table and not formatted at all:

| Col 1, Row 1 | Col 2, Row 1 | Col 3, Row 1 | | Col 1, Row 2 | Col 2, Row 2 | Col 3, Row 2 |

Hi @jprieto

what format are you using to push the message to the Teams Channel?
I haven't used Power Automate but instead setup an incoming webhook in a Teams Channel and send a Webrequest in the Jira Automation to this URL. As content I use adaptivecards as Payload.
On https://adaptivecards.io/samples/ you can find several examples and a neat WYSIWYG editor to design the card and add your values (which you might want to replace with smart values in your Automation later).
You can find several examples there that have content structured in a table, so hopefully switching to this format gives you the possibility to design the post the way you like it.

I hope this helps!

Thanks @Philipp Sendek! My current org does not allow me permissions to edit the Code View (working on change that).  

My Jira automation rule simply sends an MS Teams message, which I've had to establish a Power Automate "Workflows" rule.

1. The Workflow I made triggers "When a Teams web hook request is received" then does the action "Send each adaptive card".  
2. The output from previous step is triggerBody()?['body']?['attachments'], then to post the Adaptive Card content into the MS Teams Channel. 

I'll keep working with my org to enable edit permissions for my Code View, maybe I'm doing something wrong with the output from previous steps? I am not sure, but I will continue to test things out and reference your link, I appreciate your help!

Thank you,

JP

Hi @jprieto ,

other than using the incoming webhook function in Teams Channels, the Jira Automation and the Adaptive card code, I'm unfortunately not familiar how Power Automate works and how you can achieve the desired outcome there.

But I hope my suggestion helped you and am crossing fingers you'll get it sorted out with your team!
