Viva Engage

Viva Engage used to be called Yammer! Viva Engage is a social media type system for use within a corporate environment. Each community in Viva Engage is backed by a SharePoint site.

Microsoft Power Automate can be used with Viva Engage posts.

In this post is one of -- in a blog series.

SETUP I will show you how you can setup a Power Automate to publish to a Microsoft Teams Channel when you post to a Viva Engage Community channel.

  • Side NOTE: Power Automate in Microsoft Teams is now referred to as Workflows, not sure if this will be name for other environments, but I say why not, it makes it easier than keeping track of all the different names.

For the rest of this post, I will use the term Workflows!

Any who! Let's move on!

First things First! Workflows does not have a way to work with your own Viva Engage Storyline, at least not directly. More about this in part 3 of this series.

We can however in Workflows interact with the Viva Engage Home Feed and Community Channels.

Let's setup an Instant Cloud Flow in Power Automate Studio to post to a Viva Engage Community when someone posts to a Microsoft Teams Channel.

In Power Automate Studio, create an Instant Cloud Flow.
