A powerful way to send cards is through Power Automate. You can create a flow that automatically sends a card after it is triggered by an event. For example, create a flow that asks the assigned person to approve or decline an expense when it is that record is created in Dataverse or that sends a daily status check every morning.
Prerequisites
- Power Automate account
- Create a card
- The Power Apps Teams app installed in the chat, group chat, or channel that the card will be sent to
Get started with your connector
The Cards for Power Apps connector is used to get or create instances of cards to send using a flow. The connector has no triggers and two actions:
- Create card instance - Enables the user to select a specific card to create an instance of with customizable input variables. Returns the card instance as card dynamic content.
- Get the card description - Returns information about a user-specified card, including the id, environmentId, name, description, author, etc.
Send card in Teams using Teams Connector
- In the Power Automate portal create or modify an existing flow.
- Make sure the flow has a trigger. In the example screenshot, the trigger is when a new account record is created.
- Create or get the card instance you want to send using the Cards for Power Apps connector.
- Add an action to Post card in a chat or channel using the Teams connector.
- On the action, set Post as to Power Apps (Preview).
- On the action, set Post in, Team & Channel, or Group chat to the conversation you want to send the card in.
- On the action, set Card to the card or body dynamic content from the Cards for Power Apps connector action you added earlier in Step 3.

Common errors and remedies
- If your card does not have any input variables, it will show an empty Body parameter after selecting a card to create an instance of. You can ignore that parameter and continue building your flow.
