Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, I'm creating a flow to generate a all employee detail sharepoint list from azure ad when triggered.

My problem is that my company 's group mail is like

 all employees group

divA group        divB group          divAdmin    group

emp_divA          emp_divB          salesgroup  admin group

                                                               emp_divAdmin

 

both office365group "list group members"   and azure ad"get group members" work

but when i list group members(all employess), it just return groups

Then list group members(divgroups), it return employee mail of divA and divB,but

for divAdmin it just return salesgroup and admin group.

Is there a way to determine whether the mail is a group mail and get group member mail until it is a employee mail?

 

my current flow is like this.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I assume that there might be a specific character “Group” in the email address, then you could consider using a Do-until loop to get the flow keep running until it isn’t a group email.

     

    Please take this blog on do-until for more details:

    Sorry for late reply, I had a-week off.

    The problem is that what I want to get is not a specific person.

    I want to get all users from a group mail which is consist of several group mails.

     

    The  level is like this:

    all users

       a group of people I want to get

             div A       divB    divC

             emp_divA  emp_divB   divC-A  divC-B

                                                 emp_divC-A  emp_divC-B

     

    I want to get all of the user mails in divA,divB,divC

     

    First I use   list group members (a group of people I want to get)

     

    It returns  three group mails:divA,divB,divC

    then I use list group members (for each value)

    It returns employee's mail emp_divA  emp_divB and two group mails divC-A  divC-B

    If i continue, the flow will fail for emp_divA is not a group mail and has no group members

     

    That is why I want to know whether there is a way to decide a mail is a group mail or not

     

    Thanks for your help.
