Hi All.

I'm trying to retrieve and display an MS Teams' group ID. In a dropdown box, I'm retrieving the display name of the team via:

MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value.displayName

That part works and I'm able to see the teams that I'm a part of. The second part is where I'm having trouble with. I want to be able to show the group ID of the selected display name. I'm trying this right now but it's currently giving me an error stating: "The property expects Text values, but this rule produces incompatible Table values."

Filter(MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value.id, 'Team Name' = DataCardValue9.Selected.displayName)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: Get MS Teams Group ID

Hello everyone! I'm facing a similar issue. I've created an app that handles registrations for meeting topics. The user enters the topic, the time they'll allocate for presenting during the meeting, and attaches a file for their presentation. Upon clicking the "send" button, the data gets saved in a gallery, the file is sent to SharePoint, and simultaneously to a channel in Teams. However, every time I start the app, I receive an error message:

"microsoftteams.getchannelsforgroup failed: The "getchannelsforgroup" function has an invalid value for the "groupId" parameter - a blank value was passed where it wasn't expected. Please check if a valid argument was passed to the function."

This image is where the user registers the topic. They need to select the team and channel for the file to be sent to the folder in the channel. I would like to make this dynamic, but I couldn't figure it out. If anyone knows how to help me with this, I will be very happy and grateful. For sending the file to Teams, I created a flow.

The codes I used to connect to Teams are these: MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value to retrieve all user teams, and this one to get all channels from the teams MicrosoftTeams.GetChannelsForGroup(drp_teams.Selected.id).value. I used these codes in both yellow-highlighted dropdowns in the image!

And to execute, I placed the following code in the 'OnSelect' option of the send button:

ForAll(DataCardValue11.Attachments As Arquivo;
Anexos_Enviados.Run({contentBytes:Arquivo.Value; name: Arquivo.Name}));;
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?

I appreciate your help in advance!

Re: Get MS Teams Group ID

Hello ebrerybody,

sorry, but I didn't understand the solution. I'm working with
wrong --> LookUp(MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value, 'displayName' = Dropdown4.Selected.displayName).id

This is the solution - in my opinion is exactly like my example:
website --> Lookup(MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value, 'displayName' = DataCardValue9.Selected.displayName).id
Is there any condition to the dropdown field? It's not a member of a gallery and standing alone.
Thanks to all guys.

Ah, the SharePoint site is what you're looking for...

Yep, not an easy one. There is an article here that might be helpful to you.

Re: Get MS Teams Group ID

I can harvest the tenant id, client id, group id from Teams link but that doesn't give me the SharePoint weburl that I need. Also, if i paste it into the browser it will redirect me to either the web app or the desktop app.

I can harvest the weburl vis Microsoft Graph API but that requires additional authentication. I was being hopeful that I did not have to go down that route but seems like I will have to.

Thanks for the info!

@hnguy71

There are a couple of "hacks" around to do that.

This message mentions some options for getting to the URL from Teams. From that URL you can see there is the GroupID, but then you also need to know the TenantID and a couple other things.

Worth taking a look at. And also, this is assuming Web Browser for launch. If you want to launch direct to the teams app, you can take a look at this recent message that talks about that...still no idea how to go to a specific group.

Re: Get MS Teams Group ID

@hnguy71

MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value is a table of Teams.

Each record in the value table will have a description, displayName, and id

There is no 'Team Name' column. So your filter will not work.

You could change it to this:

Lookup(MicrosoftTeams.GetAllTeams().value, 'displayName' = DataCardValue9.Selected.displayName).id

I hope that gets you further.
