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

Attention! New Tweet from @{triggerBody()['UserDetails']['FullName']}

<strong>@{triggerBody()['UserDetails']['FullName']}</strong> just tweeted this ...

@{triggerBody()['TweetText']}

</table>
<br/><br/>
<span>Click <a href="https://twitter.com/i/web/status/@{triggerBody()['TweetId']}">here</a> to read the tweet!</span>
</body>
