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’)}
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 |
<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.
