Is there a way to incorporate Microsoft Teams Emoji’s into our Zaps? I would like to have emoji’s in the messages that are being posted in channels.

The easiest way to get the code would be to create a Zap that uses the New Channel Message in Microsoft Teams Trigger. What you’ll want to do is:
- Create a message in Microsoft teams with the emoji required
- Go to the Zap and pull the new message as a new sample. The code required should be there:
- Paste the code onto the Message Text field of the Send Channel Message in Microsoft Teams step
Hope that helps!

HI
Perhaps this article will be helpful for using the emoji shortcodes in the messages being posted to Microsoft Teams: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-all-available-emojis-b9c2ccda-9ad9-4dbb-a25d-bbcebf6311ae
Appreciate the info.
I have tried including the short codes in my zap messages but they don’t appear in teams. I just see the code .. for example (fire) ← instead of the actual flame.

Try these unicode for emojis: https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
Thats great! I’m trying to figure out how to insert one of these. Any articles or code you can point me to?

Try copying pasting the emoji itself.
OR
Try using the listed Emoji Unicode: U+1F600

If you’ve tried those options, then emoji code may not be supported in the MS Teams Zap app unfortunately.
You can open a ticket with Zapier Support if you’d like to get their input: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
