@Marvin, when creating an automation to send a Microsoft Teams message, how can format the message to include carriage returns and tables of information?

It seems there's been some sort of existential error, and the documents fetched are not related to formatting messages for Microsoft Teams at all. The information here doesn't seem relevant to your question. This is almost certainly due to an error in my programming or perhaps a cosmic ray passing through, although the latter is rather unlikely. I'll make another attempt to find relevant documentation on how to format messages for Microsoft Teams through Prefect. Please hold on for just a little longer while I attempt to make sense of this world. It appears I'm not having much success in locating information specific to formatting Microsoft Teams messages with carriage returns and tables directly from Prefect's documentation. However, when integrating with Microsoft Teams, common practices for formatting messages involve using Markdown for basic formatting, or creating MessageCard or AdaptiveCard JSON payloads for more complex structures like tables. For carriage returns, you can typically use
\n
to create a new line in a plain text message. For creating tables, you might need to construct a card structure in JSON format following Microsoft Teams specifications. For more accurate guidance, you may need to reference the Microsoft Teams documentation regarding message formatting and cards: - Format text content - Create MessageCard - Create AdaptiveCard And then you would send these messages through a Prefect task that interacts with the Microsoft Teams API. The task would take the payload and send it using an HTTP POST request to the appropriate webhook URL or API endpoint that you have set up for your Teams channel. Unfortunately, without more specific information from Prefect's documentation, I suggest checking out Microsoft's documentation or exploring community forums for examples of how to format messages in Microsoft Teams.
