Hello everyone, I'm having this problem with a simple automated flow that creates a Teams team when a record is added to a list: very often it doesn't complete, it gets stuck on creating the team which is created anyway. Could it be a problem with insufficient internet connection or a cloud bug? Thank you and sorry for my poor English

Hi @ALEXTOR

You can't optimize this specific action. However, you could look at alternative approaches and see if that is quicker.

Create a Team via the Graph API:

Create a Team via PowerShell

Hello @ALEXTOR ,
I had the same issue and developed a workaround.
Since the Team is actually created, it is no problem if you set a 2 minute timeout for "create a team" action.
If your flow concludes after that action, just create a terminate action, set the run after of the terminate action to "is successful" and "has timed out".

If you need to find out the Group ID for the Team, you can use the "List Teams" action in combination with "Filter Array" and get the right Team ID in a compose.

If you need a more detailed description, please let me know.

Thank you both for your response. Please consider that I am a beginner and I am still learning: the solution to continue with the flow when the teams action times out seems correct to me, i need to understand operationally how to use the "filter array" in combination with action "List teams"."
Attached is the flow after the logout: after logout the teams are read (at left), so I guess this is where I need to somehow link the ID of the created team...

I'm having the same issue.
It was working fine a week ago, but starting today, the Teams action "Create a Team" does not return any response for... well, it has been 30 minutes so far and still counting (in 3 different runs).
The team actually gets created, together with the associated SharePoint site.
@Schnauzerl , did you open a ticket with Microsoft?

Hello @shalem120kjh ,
I did not open a case. I will just use the workaround.
