Microsoft Flow - Skype for Business Connector

2017-10-23 1 min read Skype for Business Online Erwin Bierens

I don’t know if you ever used Microsoft Flow, but i use it mostly for getting notification abouts some important rss feeds. In this example i will use a Weather forecast flow.

Microsoft released a new connector to send notifications to Skype for Business, (according to the microsoft docs site, it’s still in preview) you can choose 2 options:

Create an online meeting
Send an instant message

Create an online meeting

When creating the trigger meeting you can enter sip addresses separated by semi-colun.

in the result after running the Flow you can see the meeting URL created. When using Phone dial-in, confence ID, dial-in number and directory url will also be created.

In my test scenario the meeting did not popped up at my Skype for Business Client, so you will need to create another event to send the urls to the users.

Send an instant message

If you choose the IM option you can send a IM message to a specific user

you now will be notified about the Weather forecast (see top bar subject).
