What's in this Pull Request?

Integration between Power Apps and MS Teams allows creating context-aware applications, that access information stored for example in the SharePoint site connected to the team.
However, the id returned by teamId parameter is not a team's guid, but an internalId which cannot be used with either the Teams Power Automate actions, or the MS Graph API.

The "Get Teams Channel Library Info" flow retrieves all the guids, ids, names and paths that might be useful in building Power Platform solutions.

Hi @kkazala ,

Thank you for your submission!
I'm trying to test it, could you please advice what values are expected as input? I tried with the Teams team id and channel id, but got the error:

Additionally, I recommend explicitly outlining the steps for creating a connector to provide a smooth and straightforward preparation guide.

Thank you!

Regards,
Katerina Ch.

hi @Katerina-Chernevskaya

Thank you for testing =)

This flow "translates" the teamId returned by Canvas Apps into the team's Guid; it also returns a number of other properties that can be useful when building PP solutions.

As explained in the readme, the teamId parameter is not a team's guid, but an internalId.
The teamId and channelId values will not be provided by a connector, but rather by a Canvas App, and you fetch it differently depending on whether it's a Canvas app embeded or integrated with teams:

Embeded Canvas App Integrated Canvas App
teamId Param("teamId") Teams.ThisTeam.Id
channelId Param("channelId") Teams.ThisChannel.Id

I think I also included a test CanvasApp in the solution?

Hope this helps =)
