example Teams to Hornbill via Flow

[Steve G]

Morning @Martyn Houghton @Dan Munns @Malcolm 

One of the questions on the Integration Round Table yesterday was: Can we write to a Hornbill Activity Stream (workspace) when a message has been added to a channel on Microsoft Teams? The answer is yes  

I've knocked up an example flow to demonstrate how that could work for you:

You just need to replace the instance ID in the URI with that of your instance, the Authorization header needs a valid API key for an account that can write to the activity stream, and of course the activityStreamId in the body will need replacing with yours  And this is what was written to the workspace in Hornbill:

Note I'm using the HTML to Text node to strip out any HTML tags from the comment, as un-encoded HTML in the XML payload would cause the API call to fail.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Hi @Steve G 

Good presentation and good to meet you yesterday with @Aaron Summers.

Really appreciate you demonstrating this as we can visualise it and take other ideas forward. 

I wonder if there could be a searchable repository for sharing and viewing this kind of content?

Thanks, 

Samuel

Hi @samwoo,

Thank you  Was great meeting you both too.

That's a good suggestion - I think this sub-forum is probably the correct place for this type of content, but adding tags to the posts might be a good way to easily search and retrieve them? Would save on having a separate sub-forum, or using a third-party tool like Github Gists... I'll have a think about suitable tags, and get that set up!

Cheers,

Steve
