Use flows in Microsoft Teams

Power Automate flows can be used in three scenarios with Teams.

Scenario Description
Trigger flows from Teams messages. In this scenario, you can create flows that are triggered when someone selects a Teams message. The flow can then run as any other flow you create.
Use flows with adaptive cards. Here, adaptive cards can be used as the trigger for flows. The full set of rich adaptive cards is available to you.
Create flows from within the Power Apps app in Teams. Use the Power Apps app in Teams to create flows that use Dataverse for Teams. Dataverse for Teams is a built-in, low-code data platform for Teams that empowers users to build custom apps and workflows within Teams by using Power Apps and Power Automate.
