A discussion about formatting message text on Microsoft Teams was had, with the suggestion to use the "Send Message to Channel" integration to define titles and flag messages as important using Markdown or Adaptive Cards. A sample JSON payload was provided for reference. The user who brought up the question was encouraged to try it out and report back on their experience.

Hello everyone,
does anyone know if it’s possible to format the message text when using the Teams integration "Send Message to Channel"?
For example, I would like to define a title and flag the message as important.
Hi Alexander,
I have not had the chance to test this, but Microsoft Teams supports both Markdown and Adaptive Cards, which allow you to style text, add headers, and flag messages.
If you want a highly structured layout with a distinct title block, using an Adaptive Card is the best route.
You can design a card using the Adaptive Cards Designer, but here is a simple JSON payload that includes a bold title and a visual warning flag:
“`{
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "⚠️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT",
"weight": "Bolder",
"size": "Medium",
"color": "Attention"
},
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Your main message text goes here. You can use standard markdown for *bolding or italics*.",
"wrap": true
}
],
"$schema": "",
"version": "1.3"
}“`
Give it a try, and let us know how it goes!
Thanks Abel!
I’ll give it a try.
