Harness the Twitter API via flow to capture new tweets from @MSFT365Status – Part 6

AlanPs1 Flow, Office 365, Power Platform

In this post, we will now add an additional layer of visibility with the Office 365 Alerts Mailbox by monitoring tweets from @MSFT365Status.

Microsoft 365 Status only tweets relating to Service Incidents so having visability of these tweets within Outlook comes with many benefits.

Firstly you will need a Twitter account and to have created a connection for that account within Flow. We will use this to authenticate only, after that the email only contains Tweets from Microsoft 365 Status.

Here is the Flow:

It could not be simpler. There are templates for this also but I tend to start from blank and add When a new tweet is posted trigger.

Here is a snippet of the email subject & body.

Tweet | @{triggerBody()['UserDetails']['FullName']} | @{formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd/MM/yyyy | HH:mm')}

<html>
   <head>
      <style> 
         table {
         border-collapse: collapse;
         width: 100%;
         text-align: center;
         }
         td, th {
         border: 1px solid #ddd;
         padding: 4px;
         }
         th {
         padding-top: 8px;
         padding-bottom: 8px;
         background-color: #7F7D7E;
         color: white;
         font-weight: normal;
         }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body>
      <span style="display:none;">
      Attention! New Tweet from @{triggerBody()['UserDetails']['FullName']}
      </span>
      <strong>@{triggerBody()['UserDetails']['FullName']}</strong> just tweeted this ...
      <br/><br/>
      <table>
         <tr>
            <td>
               @{triggerBody()['TweetText']}
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <br/><br/>
      <span>Click <a href="https://twitter.com/i/web/status/@{triggerBody()['TweetId']}">here</a> to read the tweet!</span>
   </body>
</html>

 

Now you can make sure your inbox forwarding rule caters for the title of the email as demonstrated in part 1 and then it will route it's way to the O365 Status folder.
