Creating a Team from PowerApps Runtime Error

Posted on by knoxknnocks

Hello,

I was trying to use the Microsoft Teams Connector to create a Team from inside a canvas app. The team seems to get created, but I'm getting a run-time error (am trying to retrieve the ID of the created team). This is my code OnSelect:

Set(createdTeam,MicrosoftTeams.CreateATeam("Test Team", "This is a test of creating a Team from PowerApps"))

Runtime error is:

MicrosoftTeams.CreateATeam failed: The data returned in the response is invalid. Response data should be a valid JSON object.

This is probably something simple I'm missing, but I can't seem to find any answers. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hey @knoxknnocks,
I get the same error when trying to do this, the team is created but you still see an error in the formular. Even when adding the return "newTeamId", the error still occures. From the docs the return should be the "New Team ID": Microsoft Teams - Connectors | Microsoft Docs

I only remember this error message from a missing declaration in the header for "Accept application/json" (in a custom connector), but this is inside the connector itself, so you could not change it. If this is not declared, the data returns as XML and the app cannot work with this return.

If nobody else has an idea, I would open a support ticket, just in case this is a problem within the connector itself.

Could you have a look on this?

Hi @MarvinBangert sorry I missed your reply. Thanks for that!

For now, I'm just living with the issue and retrieve the group id using a filter on all teams after based on the unique team names that we are creating. I'll open a support ticket once it becomes unbearable!
