Create Team/Channel/Folder

I have a very detailed flow that creates a Team, adds members & owners from a SP list and then uses the Graph to create some private channels.  All of that works well.  The issue is that I can't complete the final step of creating folders underneath those private channels.  It's not an issue with the flow, but it's an issue with creating private channels and it takes some time for the files section to show up in SharePoint.  I'm up to a 10 min delay between creating channels and folders and it still isn't long enough.  I've noticed that if you go to the channel in Teams and click on the Files section a few times, it will show and you can create folders.  But how do I programmatically "force" SP & Teams to create the files section of the Channel so I can create folders?


I can post the flow, but I've validated it...it's not a flow issue.  If I manually click in Teams while the flow is waiting, it will create the folders.  But with no interaction, it fails to create them.

 

Any of that make sense?

    Hi @Tommy-Upton 

     

    You can split the flow in that case.

    You can use trigger once channel create or folder create do next action in that case it will not fail.

    I don’t guess I follow. Can you give me an example. Channel creates successfully. But fails on folder create.
