Adding a Guest to a Team from outside our tenancy using Automate and MS Lists

Posted on by
I'm trying to improve the efficiency of our contact/stakeholder management and access to the appropriate MS Team and SharePoint for external users to our tenancy. 

The Team is set up to allow Guest access to external users. I have set up an Automate flow using MS Lists for contact information, with an action triggered when an item is created or modified within the List. The flow leads to a Teams action to Add a user to a Team, using the email address populated in the List. 
 
When testing, this will function correctly for users inside our tenancy, but the error code  Action 'Add_a_member_to_a_team' failed: Failed to find user with id ' "USER EMAIL FROM LIST" ' in the tenant   is received when trying to add in an external user. 

Is there any workaround to this?
