In order to share the knowledge that I acquire throughout my various professional mandates with our internal team at Solulan, I have set up a Power Automate flow that aims, for the moment to synchronize only my posts that I write on my blog AND that contains in its title [Microsoft Teams] to a Yammer group dedicated to Microsoft Teams technology.
For those who don’t know yet, Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow), is a Microsoft 365 service that allows you to create workflows using a trigger to perform a particular process. This service is also complementary to Power BI and Power Apps. Power Automate, can also be used independently and can offer companies very complex automated processes! I often compare it to IFTTT used in home automation (If This, Then That)
In my case here, I am transposing my post from my RSS feed to a Yammer post. Later I will see to transpose it to my twitter and then to translate it for the English speaking public
My trigger here is my RSS feed:
https://microsofttouch.fr/default/b/jdeletre/rss
Then, I use a condition and specify that if the title of my RSS feed contains [Microsoft Teams]
If YES –” Post a message in Yammer
If NO –” Ends the flow with a status of “Operation successful” (because yes even if the title does not contain the text [Microsoft Teams] it is a success!)
To find the Yammer Group ID, simply convert the URL ID of the Yammer Group to base64.
For example, you can use an online tool, such as Base64 Decode and Encode – Online, to decode from the Base64 format.
As you can see on the screenshot below, I also added some html tags because for the moment the post message action of Yammer is not very advanced in terms of word processing
.
On the other hand, all this is done in a few clicks, isn’t that great!
