Possible to get email of DL Group?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 122

Hi All

Is it possible to get the email address associated to a DL group in flow?

I know Microsoft and the Power Platform (for whatever reason) have blocked the use of DL groups in the "to" field of send emails but a bunch of people have come up with workarounds which all in all, are just using the email of the DL group to send to (works a treat, can confirm). Now a question I'm sure you'll ask is "well why not just use the email instead of the DL name". Well I can't force the business to just start using emails instead of DL groups for this particular flow so I've gotta come up with some sort of workaround.

I've managed to build a flow that'll put the DL group name into a formatted string (from a SP text Datasource), but now I need to see if there is a way to get the email of that DL group on the fly so I can then use it to send the email to. I can't find any reference to what I'm after on google so hopefully someone may have a workaround. 

I don't have access to premium connectors so hopefully there is a 'pleb level' connector that'll do the job.

 

Thanks in advance!

    I do it a bit of an unorthodox way in my flow since figuring this out... 

    Basically I use the GraphAPI to poll my company's AzureAD. Using that Azure Instance, it will then get the DL group ID and then its just in JSON to which you need to use the parseJSON power automate function.

    Let me know if you want some more details and I'll post some, but otherwise its pretty easy once you get your head around the GraphAPI.

    Actually I needed Details of individual user present in DL group. Is it possible using the API's?
