It's hard to keep track of the number of tips/minute in this video. Definitely worth 10+ times the price!
Thanks. Turned out I learned a lot of lessons the hard way so that is why I put the video together.
Shane- I've been following your channel for several years. I work for an electrical company here in MI, we have 90 techs on any one day working in the field. When Covid came along, I was finally taken off the back burner and put on the front line. I created a PowerApp that handles the usual Covid questions for any job our Tech finds himself on.
From there, I've started to do the Tech "Daily Worksheets" where I track their hours and give the company a nice spreadsheet at the end of the week.
It's a world of difference than where my company was 8 months ago, still using paper and pencil.
Today, I learned- through the grapevine, that my company thought I could do better and brought in a 3 party consultant to look at my Apps.
A majority of what I've learned, are from your videos.
I am pleased to report, that the 3rd party not only liked my coding, but offered me a 2nd job with the Approval of my boss at the company I already work for.
You, sir, deserve a bit of gratification.
Thanks dude. You've really helped a guy out.
That is awesome! Congrats.All of your hard work paid off! 🎊🎉🍾
Windows + V, totally worth the price of this free video. Thanks Shane for you clear explanation, examples, and fun.
You're very welcome!
Second that! I had no idea. I remember earlier versions of clipboard history, I think it was in Word. Really hard to use, so I didn't bother. Windows + V is simple and works across the OS, quite an improvement.
Hi Shane, I just want to thank you for your wonderful videos. They are extremely clear and informative and your enthusiasm and innate teaching/communication ability are first class. Many thanks!
Thanks Stol. 🐶
This is really great information Shane, I love it. I try to limit email traffic as much as I can and your video is very inspiring. I'm going to try and see if I can send private messages from Power Apps to Teams as well, that'll be great for updating IT tickets, Purchase requests, Tasks and all those things.
Didn't know about the Windowskey+V yet, I'm flabbergasted.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ShanesCows can we integrate teams chats rather than channel? My guess is no since the id is needed
Now I'm not going to get any work done tomorrow! I'm busy at make.powerapps.com ! Thanks for the nice video, and good Windows + v to everyone!! 🐶
Have fun! Win + V changed my life. 🥰
Thanks, Shane, It is great to integrate Power apps with TEAMS
😀
You really are very user oriented, it is wonderful learning from your videos.
one thing that i still feel as a big missing piece with the current situation, where due to covid a big part of the world works from home, and gets everything via Teams, is that i can't create a meeting invitation, where i add the "Teams meeting" like when in outlook i simply click on it so it creates the "virtual meeting" link and instance. Btw Shane, u're fantastic, I'm subscribed, and i always advise every colleague to do it as well ;)
Thank you for the support! I do agree I wish it was possible to create a Teams meeting link. 😑
Looking forward to the adaptive cards !
Me too! I did this video and will do the next one just so I can get into Adaptive cards.
@@ShanesCows Can't wait!
Looks great Shane! The workflow I've been developing over time has been evolving, and I've been looking for a way that my users can do everything within the App I've created, rather than switching between tabs in Teams (I've had the App embedded in Teams for a while now).
The ability to message each other within the App is exactly the kind of thing I want to implement to achieve this goal.
That is awesome! 🤩
So much info compressed in a few minutes.
Glad you enjoyed it 🐶
Hi Shane, thanks for the fab tutorial. Really looking forward to the next one. Meantime I shall be going through today's video step by step in my own tenant. Great stuff. :)
Fantastic!
Great explanation as usual...thanks Shane for helping us in learning a new feature ...cheers🙂
My pleasure!
Excellent tips Shane👌🏻👍🏻!!
Appreciate it!
Thank you Shane for sharing great tutorial
My pleasure!
Just a headsup Shane, the next piece which you are going to show about Adaptive Card trigger has some bug which has been going on for a long time. Please make sure to address that otherwise everyone will go bonkers when they implement it! It is basically because of Adaptive Card compatibility with MS Teams.
Great video as always!
What bugs specifically? Are you talkling about having to use v1.0? Please share so I can make sure I share. 😀
@@ShanesCows It's a random error which comes up saying "Unable to reach app. Please try again". Link:
github.com/microsoft/AdaptiveCards/issues/3701
Nice one Shane. Adaptive cards will be good especially Actions to Webhook/HTTP Requests if you get the chance to cover this subject.
Oh I can't wait to open that can of worms. Not sure what or how but I wouldn't be surprised if we have to cover adaptive cards a couple of times.
For Microsoft Teams, Power Automate has dedicated connectors and I don't think you get to use the default http requests. A good thing as they are premium anyway.
Shane---you've done it again. Thank you SO much for these videos! Question---if my PowerApp is going to post to teams as the person who hits the button, does that person have to be a member of that Team? If they do have to be a member, is there a way to post to this Team without them being a member? Can i use Flow Bot that you talk about?
Chris they would have to have permission in the team. Flow bot might be worth attempting but not sure how permissions work for it.
Hey Shane, Can you please post some videos on Model Drive Apps and the hidden features of it. I want to explore it fully. I can see a lot of videos on Canvas apps. but I could not find videos on MD apps except the very basic videos. I want to know how to customize the views, forms, and change the access based on the role. It would be helpful if you post such videos.
I don't work with them much so I don't have any great content to share with them yet. 😐
Hi Shane. Great video as usual. Keep on this topic :) Could you please do a video about Microsoft to do connector integration? Thanks
I hope you are subscribed. That is next Monday's planned video exactly. I have been playing with the demo already. It will be cool.
@@ShanesCows Of course :) Thank you!
Hi Shane, Windows + V :D You made my day :D
It is the greatest feature ever! It changed me life too! 😎
Love your videos. We are learning to build power apps right now for an upcoming initiative. Rumour has it that power apps are only accessible by those who also have access to the power apps studio. We were encourage to build inside teams instead. If a power app is embedded into teams AFTER its built like you showed, would anyone with access to the team channel on teams be able to view the app? Our company just merged with another, and info in the app will need to be accessible by both sets of employees. Which is currently just in teams.
Yes Tara. If you build an app and publish it to the team anyone with access to the team can access the app.
Is there a way i would know what channel the power apps is published? (Edit) Was able to get it. Thanks to this video, it gave me an idea!!!
Awesome! Glad you got it.
Thankyou Shane....
You are welcome. :)
Shane - Great topic, as always. Such a pleasure to see such high-quality videos. Thanks for your hard work. I'm very new to this type of app and I wondered if you could tell me whether an app such as this could be used by a group OTHER than a company with a tenant. For instance, I am part of a small group of volunteers in my city who maintain our hiking trails, We have just launched a new Adopt-a-Trail program where hikers can sign up to do light maintenance of small trail sections. This would be such a great way for these random users to be able to submit their hours, activity reports, comments into Teams where I might be able to figure out how to aggregate that data into a spreadsheet/List/database. But there is no 'company' that all potential users belong to. And it would be unlikely that (m)any of them even have a Microsoft Account, much less an O365 subscription. Any idea if this could work for this kind of use case? Thanks so much!
With Power Apps the user always has to be authenticated and have a license. What if instead you let people submit data via Forms and then you go from there?ruclips.net/video/462l8JuJ9xM/видео.html
Hello shane, how can I delete a person from a team? Adding it works great. Thank you very much 😀
I haven't done that one. :( I would assume you have to use the Graph API but not sure. 😐
Thanks Shane! Do you have any examples of adding a button that allows you to cycle through filtered records? Sheet1 - is the summary of the records from sharepoint. Sheet 2 - is the detail of the record the user selects on Sheet1. Goal would be to filter sheet1 by a group and then allow user to select the next filtered record by simply clicking the next button on Sheet2. I'm assuming I would need to build a collection that updates whenever a filter on Sheet1 is selected. Thanks!
I am not sure. Sorry not exactly following
@@ShanesCows microsoft-bitools.blogspot.com/2020/03/power-apps-get-next-item-from-gallery.html Found this. Pretty cool technique to accomplish what I needed. BTW... Your videos are the most helpful resource I've found on PowerApps. Thanks!
Hey Shane! Love your videos.. do you know if there is anyway to edit a power apps for team on an iPad? Seems like there are work around to use power apps online to edit an app but not a power apps for teams created power app… Tips?
Not that I know of, sorry
Shane, about external contacts there are one way to send a message to especific person out company?
Not sure, I have never tried. 😐
Verry nice Shane, new explorations 👍 When one post to a TEAM, the person must be a member of the TEAM? I guess that this can be checked before posting. Q: Can Power Apps also post a TEAMs chat to a person? Gr. Lex
Hey Lex - In theory Power Apps can post as the Flow bot but I haven't figured it out. Good news? Next week when we cover posting from Flow it is easy to post as Flow bot. 😀
Great video!
Is it possible to get a list of all members of a specific channel of a specific Team/Group?
Maybe but I haven’t done it
Hi Shane, this video was of much help, found that Microsoft documentation isn't the most helpful. My only issue is that i dont need a rich text editor for people to enter what they want to be posted to a channel, a text box would be enough.
What i noticed is that a textbox does not have an "items" field where i can define a value. Could you briefly explain here how to integrate this, as you were going to do around the 14:30 mark.
Hi Shane - thank you for this video, I wouldn't have figured half of this stuff without it! One question, I have masted the art of mentioning/tagging individual people, but I haven't found the correct syntax to mention the entire team...is this possible?
Windows V is really useful...
IT is my favorite. 🐶
Hi ! Great video thanks ! A explanation of Shifts in PowerApps is possible ? I saw the conector on the left bar
Hi Shane, thank you so much for your work! One question though: is it possible to post the message to multiple channels? like can you put multiple Channel ID's into the formula? i tried with "&" but the message just endet up in one of the channels i intended to post the message
You would have to write multiple Posts functions. Or to make it a bit dynamic you could use forall if you had a table of the Channel IDs to post to.
Shane,
Always educational to watch your videos - greatly appreciated. Question on @mentioning / tagging a user. I used a ComboBox to permit my users to search for the individual they wish to tag - works great. Is it possible to include others in the tagging process - e.g., tag two or more people selected in the ComboBox and pass the data through PostMessagetoChannelV3 to Teams.
Solved the question / problem by using the following:
Concatenate("",Concat(TeamCBOX.SelectedItems,Mail," "),"")
Glad you got it Rich
@@ShanesCows & @Rich Zanatta: always worth it scrolling through the comments here:-) Thank you Shane for inspiration and Rich for solving the multiple user tagging. Now, ultimate challenge: any way to extract the id or @mention of a Team Tag and use that? I searched in the admin center but came up blank for internal id of a Tag. We often have to notify the entire "Team" within a Teams Channel and use Tags for that - having to select 10 or more people in the ComboBox is going to take more time than simply copy and paste the text into Teams Channel and then adding the @mention-TAG manually there:-)
Dataflex! Sounds exciting.
I think it is going to change a lot about what we do and how we do it. 😀
@@ShanesCows Yes. Working out of Teams is the new norm. We are doing it now as we are all remote and Teams is our "Platform". In fact, Microsoft is interviewing me Thursday to get our companies story of how Teams and Power Apps and Power Automate has made remote working a lot better. It's for Ignite.
@@ShanesCows Your video has perfect timing again!!!
So fun Bob. I bet you will do awesome. 😀
@@ShanesCows Thank you! A little nervous but they sent me the questions in advance and it doesn't look too bad.
Hi Shane, how are you? I have a question, do you know if this powerapps integration is possible in Webex Teams? Cheers, great video by the way!
I have never used Webex Teams so I don't know. Sorry.
Hello Shane. Hoping you are doing well.
I just started ur powerapps playlist and i m on 3rd video. But also i want to make an app that will help read write edit and update common excel file that is in ms teams, but when i am using the link from team of those files i am getting access issue. Can you please make a video on how to read n update excel files on team using powerapps
The Excel file would have to be stored in OneDrive. Sorry.
Hi Shane, grat tutorial... as always. Nerdy qustion, could you explain how to post message on teams with attachment (just attach image from power apps directly on channel)
I don't know how to do that. 😑 I ran into some weirdness trying to post images also so not really sure.
@@ShanesCows thank you for your answer anyway. I'll try to find some solution 🤯Once again greate job you doing with your tutorials. Thanks to them I've created quite usfull apps
Shane- I've been following your channel and having a question, Is it possible to have a button in Power Apps to make Teams chat and Teams call from the app? However we can make phone calls from PowerApps but the call will be placed from the phone's default app not Teams.
I am not sure. I haven’t tried. 😑
thanks
Happy to help. Have a great day. 🐶
These videos are fantastic, is there a link to the video where you can send a message to an individual on teams via powerapps?
Maybe this one will help? ruclips.net/video/-7BV-33De94/видео.html
@@ShanesCows thanks, weirdly i was watching that when I saw your response
Hi Shane, really good stuff! Can we make a post as an announcement in the teams channel?
Not sure. I would check the actions and see if one of them has it as an option
Hi Shane, Do you know if it's possible to post an image from a photo control into a teams channel?
I haven’t tried... maybe try posting the base64?
Hello Shane . Thank you for posting this video . Can we also post a image from Powerapps to Teams ?
Why does an App developed in PowerApps work one way when running and testing it in development, but when you save and publish it to Teams it can work quite differently. I believe this has to with the speed, but I would LOVE to get your thoughts on this and/or some videos or reference to videos that talk about what causes this to happen. I know have to code and then test in Teams to ensure that the application won't break for the user. I've even had to make my PowerApp less user friendly just to get it to work when running it from Teams. This also happens if you run it from the URL link as well (FYI). Thanks for any help.
I am hopeful as we move from Preview to Release that we see less weirdness.
Hi Shane, Thanks for video. I am new to powerapps. how can i refresh the gallery having teams message or post.?
YOu would need to retrigger the function. LEaving the screen and coming back would be the easiest way. Unfortunately, function based data sources, like this, don't have a Refresh command.
Hi Shane! The video was amazing. I have 1 question. How can we send a private chat message on Teams using this Microsoft Teams connector. I know that in Power Automate there's a connector available, but would love to use it directly from canvas app. Any thoughts?
Hi Shane, the video is fantastic. But how do we using PowerApps to reply comment in MS Teams ?
I don't think you can? Not sure.
Question 😊 are you aware of any delay between setting up a new O365 account and then using the AddMemberToTeam function? I can get it to work by itself but when I try to use it immediately after creating a new account using AzureAD.CreateUser it throws a fit... I’m not sure if it’s a delay or lack of licence as I’m trying to automate new starter steps before our IT manager assigns a licence... any thoughts?
Not sure but wouldn't suprise me you might need to build a delay into your flow
Great video!
Anyone knows if its possible to display pictures which are posted on Teams?
Hi Shane, its great! I have a question, ¿I could from here to approval members for a team?
Mauro - I am not sure what you are asking. Sorry. Please leave another comment and I can try to help
@@ShanesCows thank you, I created a team and submitted the link to invite to join, but I need to approve each one I submit, with a validation. I know I can accept directly from Teams, but I need to validate and automate. Thank you very much, if you can give me an alternative.
Hi, I wanted to create an app that will allow someone in the team informed in real-time whether a network licensed software is currently used by others. Is this possible? Thank you
Not sure. If yo have a way to determine the license is in use that flow can talk to then yes.
One question, if the Teams channel id and group id do not change, can we add the id's to a static data source connector like excel? Then we can load those in the appstart and reference them easier?
Yup. That is exactly what you should do. I probably should have talked about that more.
@@ShanesCows No worries, video was great, cannot wait for next one. Went ahead and created a channel just for PA and Team stuff. FYI...Saw that here: community.powerbi.com/t5/MBAS-Gallery/Microsoft-PowerApps-The-master-class-on-building-performant-apps/td-p/726013 :)
Hi Shane, can you confirm if it is possible to get a list of your teams meetings? it doesn't seem possible with any of the connecter for Power apps or power automate
He Shane, do you have any videos how to display multi text values in a datatable. The only way atm is to use collection. Many thx 😊
I don’t use the data table very often. Sorry I got nothing.
@@ShanesCows thanks Shane. Love what you do in the power app space 😊
Shane, I noticed in 3:12, you were prompted to "Allow" a SharePoint connection. I have received feedback about this feature being an annoyance for users, are you aware of a way to mitigate that from happening?
Yes there is a powershell cmdlet you can use Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent I plan to make a video on it soonish but in the meantime this video will help. ruclips.net/video/BPmCW1uXh38/видео.html
@@ShanesCows Awesome. Thank you! Looking forward to the AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent video!
Hello Shane. How could I see a team post and see the images in the post?
Can we get the Team ID of the same team in which the Power App Instance was added without knowing the Team name? I am exploring if I can post message to the same team in which the Power app was open.
I think you can user Team. and then look at the properties. I think the ID is there.
how to add apps in left side navigation or app bar in teams instead of in a channel
after Upload of App (leave-request) in Teams, where I can find Data ( Excel) ?
It is in a Dataverse table. You have to look into the imported apps section to find it.
Can anyone tell me how to add attachment and retrieve attachment from the teams?
This video 😎 ruclips.net/video/2gE0e_AsdMw/видео.html
Thank you😁...this was the one i was looking for👍👍
Gallery image item is not visible inside the MS Team app but its visible when you click on web, any suggestion will be appreciated
Sorry I haven't ran into that. WHere is the image stored? If it is SharePoint then you have an authentication issue. Perhaps better to store it in Dataverse.
Ho teacher,
I want to teams assigned one, replace post in a channel. How to use the f(x)
Another great video, Shane. I can only get the first message of any thread into PowerApps, do you know of a way to see the replies to a thread?
Not possible the best I can tell. There just doesn't seem to be a way to query the replies and all of my internet searches agreed not possible. 😑
@@ShanesCows That's what I found as well. Thanks for looking and responding
Hey Shane, are you still working with PowerShell much? You should really look at PowerShell Universal (Universal Dashboard) for slick looking Dashboards all built with PowerShell.
I will check it out. Thanks for the tip.
@@ShanesCows Thanks Shane! I could see you making a whole video series on this. I have made so many dashboards and tools with it already but I think your teaching approach would work well with it for your viewers. :)
Hello, how can I access file tab in channel to get the excel file from it
It is a SharePoint Document library. I talk about it some in this video for writing to Files. ruclips.net/video/2gE0e_AsdMw/видео.html
Hi, Shane. Can I download attachments in PowerApps embedded or deployed in Teams?
I haven't tried but I would think yes.
@@ShanesCows I have tried to find parameters for sending an image to Teams but failed
Are you able to post an image from powerapps to teams?
I haven’t tried in at least a year. Last time I tried the file size limit of the image was very tiny and not ideal. I posted the base64
how to access display and post teams personal chat with power apps?
can you provide the solution for one of my project @shane young
Is it possible to add multiple users (200 users) in onetime ?
I've embedded a powerapp in Teams and I need to recive a notification when something happened in the powerapp. I know that is possible in the mobile and desktop app, but in teams it doesn't work. It's possible to show a notification from the developer of a powerapp in users's Teams? (Like a notification from a chat)
You could use the connector to send them a Teams chat? Not sure about in the app. What about Notify function?
Thanks Shane for the tips! I will try this solution
Hello Shane. I am unable to display the user name (ThisItem.from.user) for a message in a gallery.. All other fields can be displayed.. It says the data type is a record.. Please Help Shane
Found the solution.. Please use this function "ThisItem.from.user.displayName". Thanks
Glad you got it.
Hi Shane..., can't we give reply to person my mentioning there name
