Adding a user to a Microsoft Team or Office365 group

Hello,

I'm having difficulties with adding users to an Office365 group.

These are my flows:

Flow 1: Takes the input from a Microsoft Form to a Sharepoint List.

Flow 2: Triggers whenever a new item is added to the Sharepoint list. Starts an approval. After the approval the user is created in Azure AD.

After the user is created in Azure AD I add the user to an office365 group using the Office365 groups -> Add member to group action.

I select the group from the drop down and I user the UPN based collected from the previous Azure AD -> create user action.

For some reason I keep getting this error: Action add user to group failed: Invalid target for navigation property update. URI must target an entity.

I already tried using the GUID but this gives me an error: Resource '......0-8beb-4300-ae3e-1ef9f543a14e' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present. I used the Powershell Get-UnifiedGroup command to get this GUID.

Hopefully someone can help me solve this issue 🙂

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Thanks for your answer! I found that post when doing some research to solve my issue. However the topic ends with a question.

What source should I use to extract the UPN from?

Use Search for users.

Hi,

Have you tried to use the Office 365 Groups action instead?

Hello,

So I just tried using the Search for users -> upn. This gives me the same error:

{
"error": {
    "code": "Request_BadRequest",
    "message": "Invalid target for navigation property update. URI must target an entity.",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id": "440538f1-b6ab-415c-a27b-1110d4f181d4",
      "date": "2020-03-05T14:11:29"
    }
}

Here's an overview of my flow:

@Michaelvds
That is weird..

Are you selecting the group from the dropdown list in the action?

Hi @Michaelvds

Are you searching one user or multiple (Search for users v2)?

Thanks
