Use the For each channel in a team iterator to automate tasks by looping through all channels within a specified Microsoft Teams team.

This facilitates efficient task automation across multiple channels within a single team.

    • Multiple variables: Assigns each retrieved value of a specific key (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.
