How do I post a Teams message in HTML format to make URL links clickable?

Hi,

is there a way to post a Teams message as html format?
Currently it’s as text only and so e.g. URL links aren’t clickable atm when sending an automatic message to someone.

Maybe a switch which sets the content-type of the message to html or test if preffered would be very handy :)
Have a nice sunday!

Oh wow, this is exacly what I need, The ability to do Markdown and HTML into chat messages.

 

Can you please add my vote, and also let me know when it’s done!

Also, as a (bad) workaround, what I’ve done is instead of sending one big message to Teams as unreadable block of text, I've split it into three or four different steps.

 

i.e. instead of this

 

Step 2: Send to teams: Information A | Information B | Information C | Information D | Information E | Information F | etc

I have: 

 

Step 2: Send to teams:  Information A

Step 3: Send to teams: Information B | Information C

Step 4: Send to teams: Information D

Step 5: Send to teams: Information E | Information F | etc

 

Which appears as consecutive messages in the chat, and is at least slightly more readable!

Yup. Same, add me. Very sad I cannot format messaging … a string of field values is ugly as all hell when sending the data.

Hi all, +1 from me. 

Chat messages cannot send html or markdown. If I try to format a link like this:
 

then I get this 

 

Same for HTML. This is pretty lame as a link would make this much more convenient for readers of this message.
