Hi Sam, 

 

Could you please add us to the list for this feature request as well, please?

 

This is very important to us - otherwise the “Send Chat” feature is pretty much broken at this point without the ability to properly format messages.

 

Thank you!

Hi @AshleyMorris @FLIT @Vyto @fchen @azbctxks @sefzig @Julez!

We have an existing feature request for adding HTML/Markdown support to the Send Chat action in Microsoft Teams. I’ve added all of your votes to that, which means you’ll receive an email notification when it gets implemented :)

Is there a feature request already logged for this or should all of us on this thread log one?

MS are phasing out Skype for MS Teams in Windows 11 and this feature is going to quickly become essential.

Hi @FLIT 

You can submit a feature request for this to Zapier Support here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

When sending to channel you have the ability to select the formatting type.

View of Channel Message Options

 

But when you send the Chat Message, you don’t have the same options.

View of Chat Message Options

Only plain text is possible. Please extend the same formatting option to Chat Messages as you have to channels. 

 

*P.S.- The only reason most of us are using Chat Channels is because you can’t use a webhook to push to a private channel. I don’t need everyone in the team getting alerts, and I don’t want to make a new team to subscribe to alerts.

Hitting the same issue here too. MS Chat messages show all text, HTML Mark or Mark down just appears in it’s raw form, whatever I try. 

A solution would be good, as I cant even do new lines at the moment.

I am hitting this same problem. 
Did anyone found a solution for this ? 

I am using Teams (beta) with Linux (Ubuntu). With Gnome terminal, there is a “copy as HTML” option, which embeds it and when I paste into Teams, it’s recognized.  However if i paste it into a text editor, the buffer became HTML code and when I copy/paste the HTML code into Teams it’s not converted, just showing as plain HTML code.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

Hi there @Wemakefuture - So that I know how to help, I’m not sure what you mean by “move this to the devs.” Are you requesting a feature request here? Please let me know. Thanks!
