Create Team needs mail nickname parameter

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

I would really like to use the 'Create Team' action to provision Teams in my organisation. It is so close, but I need to specify the mailNickName to control the naming convention for the Teams which is different to the display name.

 

Is there any chance that option could be available before it comes out of preview?

    Hi @ozippy1 

     

    You could achieve this with a custom connector and Graph API - i believe.  There is an api call https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-groups?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#example-1-create-a-microsoft-365-group and I have done a video on creating a Graph API connector recently https://youtu.be/EfsYrRQTfgw

     

    {
     "description": "Description of your Group",
     "displayName": "My Lovely New Group",
     "groupTypes": [
     "Unified"
     ],
     "mailEnabled": true,
     "mailNickname": "MyGroup",
     "securityEnabled": false
    }

     

    Let me know if this would work for you as otherwise your options are to post an idea, upvote and wait.
