Need a trigger action for when a new user is created in office 365 or Azure.

I'm building a flow that needs to be triggered when a new user is created. (A new team member is added to our o365 platform.) I figure it could either be a new user in o365 or Azure. From there I have a string of emails being sent to the email in the user profile.

I don't see any trigger actions for something like this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I assume when you say that 'a new user is created' that you mean you are 'manually' creating this user either through Azure AD or O365 Admin?

It would add a bit more to what you're trying to do, but why don't you automate the user creation part, based on a SharePoint form, for instance, that someone fills out submits. From the Power Automate perspective, you can then trigger emails to go out once the card 'Create User in AzureAD' has finished creating the user account. I've done this whole onboarding process for licensed and guest users for a project I'm working on, so happy to provide some guidance and help.

I don't think there is a way to do the trigger you are asking for in your post above.

Funny, after speaking to my IT contact at work and asking what he does to set up new users I had the same thought...why isn't this automated? I'm thinking my best bet is to do as you've suggested or build a custom connector. In the mean time I created a button to just input the new users email and send them into the flow. In the future I agree, I think it would be best to fully automate the whole process of the user setup. Thanks for the input I appreciate it!

I mean, I provided what I thought was a better solution, and the OP marked it as the solution. Does that help or make sense?
