Creation of Email Alias in Power Automate

Posted on 25 Mar 2022 20:42:29 by 7

Hello, 

 

I am building a Power Automate flow to assist with the onboarding process at my organization. This flow takes the input from a form and creates a user profile in Azure Active Directory/adds user to licensing groups/updates current employee information on a spreadsheet/sends emails/etc. I am nearly finished with the flow, but want to see if there is a way to automate the creation of an alias.

 

We create email aliases for all employees in Office 365. This alias uses the same username as the one created as the primary email, but attaches it to a secondary domain that we own. I want to find a way in Power Automate that allows for the automatic creation of the email alias. I am still very new to Microsoft Power Platform, so I may be missing something, but I cannot find an action that allows for creation of an alias in a flow. Is it something that could be done with Graph API?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That's just impossible. Use PowerShell.

    I'm looking for the same solution. Has anyone found a power automate workflow to accomplish adding an alias to an existing Microsoft email in your domain?

    Hi @cwebb4,

     

    I would look into the mail and proxyAddresses properties of the User in Graph API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-beta#mail-and-proxyaddresses-properties

     

    Hope this helps a bit?
