Microsoft Flow - Create a Teams Message from an RSS Feed

-
This is a nice simple Flow that I love!  If you work with a lot of different software and want to keep up to date on the latest changes without having to save all those pesky favourites to various RSS feeds/blogs, this is for you.

The great thing about this is, when you start posting it to Teams, now everyone can see when there is an update! 

It's only 3 steps, here's how:
  • Create a Blank Flow
  • Add the Trigger 'RSS - When a feed item is published'
  • Add the 'Data Operations - Compose' action to create a nicely formatted message to send to teams
  • Add the 'Teams - Post a Message' action, select your team & channel, and put the Compose Output into the Message box

I use this flow to keep up to date on all the latest Microsoft PowerApps news, see the screenshot below for my flow setup.

Sorry, something went wrong Field type [FieldName]  is not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete this field.   This is caused when a FieldType has been created usually via a custom solution (WSP), and has been used somewhere, then uninstalled while still being used somewhere on the Site Collection.  This error message is similar on all versions of SharePoint 2007/2010/2013. Usually you will have one or more Site Columns that are using the FieldType, and possibly one or more Content Types that are using that Site Column, and then most likely one or more Lists/Librarires using the Site Columns or Site Content Types. If you want to remove the Field Type Completely, steps to resolve are as follows: Try to delete the Site Column or Content Type from every list it is being used on.  If you can't delete the Content Type from the list, you will have to delete the list. Delete the Content Types using the Site Column (Site Actions > Site Settings
