(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 5
I would like to build a manual flow which uses an Excel spreasheet 'List rows present in a table' then picks who to send this to depending on job role then using email address to send an MS Teams invite and save in receipents calendar. I have got most of this done it's when I apply to each , job, role, name and email address I am stuck?
I would also like this sent froma group inbox, allowing the group mailbox users to add, amend or edit the invite once sent.

    You're very close to completing a powerful flow! Let's break down the two parts you're stuck on and how to solve them:


    1. Apply to Each: Filter by Job Role and Send Invite

    Assuming your Excel table has columns like:

    • Name
    • Email
    • JobRole

    You can do the following in Power Automate:

    Inside "Apply to each" (from List rows present in a table):

    1. Condition:
      Check if item()?['JobRole'] equals the role you're targeting (e.g., "Manager").

    2. If Yes:

      • Use "Create Event (V2)" from Outlook or "Create a Teams meeting" (via Graph API or Outlook).
      • Set:
        • Required Attendees = item()?['Email']
        • Subject, Start/End Time, etc.

    2. Send from a Group Mailbox

    To send from a shared mailbox or group inbox, use:

    "Send an email from a shared mailbox (V2)"

    • Shared Mailbox: Enter the group email (e.g., team@yourdomain.com)
    • To: item()?['Email']
    • Subject/Body: Customize as needed

    Make sure the flow owner has Send As or Send on Behalf permissions for the shared mailbox.


    Bonus: Let Group Members Edit the Invite

    If you're using Outlook calendar events, you can:

    • Create the event in the shared mailbox calendar.
    • Add group members as organizers or editors (this requires Graph API or manual calendar sharing).
