Use the For each channel in a team iterator to automate tasks by looping through all channels within a specified Microsoft Teams team. This enables you to perform actions like reading channel information or posting messages on each channel individually. This facilitates efficient task automation across multiple channels within a single team.

Procedure

  • Double-click or drag the Loop action from the Loop package in the Actions palette.
  • Select the For each channel in a team option from the Iterator list.
  • Use the Session name field to select one of the following options:
    • Session name: Enter the name of the session used to open the presentation with the Connect action.

      (Optional) Click the Insert a value icon to select an existing variable that you have used to store the default session name.

    • Variable: Enter the name of the variable that you have used to store the session name.
  • Specify the Team to which the channel belongs using the following options:
    • Team name: Specify the name of the Team.
    • Team ID: Specify the Team ID.
  • In the Assign channel details to variablefield, choose either Multiple variables or Dictionary variable to save the output:
    • Multiple variables: Assigns each retrieved value (for example, ID, name, description, email, and webURL) to a separate variable enabling you to map each team detail to a specific variable. Do following steps for each variable:
      • Click Add variable mapping.
      • Enter the Key of the variable.
      • In the Map to variable field, choose a variable where the data will be saved.
      • Click Add for this data to be saved to the configured variable.
    • Dictionary: stores all values in a dictionary object with key-value pairs.
