Hi all,

I am trying to find a way to validate a group name (if it exists or not).

I have tried using the new Text Input (groupName.Value) and old (TextInput1.Text). I have used the Graph API to get all groups and display them in a Gallery:

Set(varGroups,Office365Groups.HttpRequest("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups","GET",""))

My Gallery is set to:

Table(varGroups.value)

So ideally I would like that when i type in a text box it validates if that group exists or not. I also would prefer not to have the gallery if possible. I also tried this:

Set(varSearchGroups,Office365Groups.HttpRequest("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=startswith(displayName, 'groupName.Value')&$count=true&$top=1&$orderby=displayName,"GET",""))

But it didnt work. Any ideas how I can achieve this?

try using the following:
Set(VarG,Office365Groups.ListGroups({'$filter':"startswith(displayName,'"& TextInputCanvas1.Value &"')"}).value)

thanksialbasheir-kbr

I like the filter option - will see if I can incorporate that.

For now, I ended up using this:

Set(varGroups,Office365Groups.HttpRequest("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups","GET",""));
!IsBlank(LookUp(Gallery1.AllItems, Lower(Text(ThisRecord.Value.displayName)) = Lower(TextCanvas1.Text), Text(ThisRecord.Value.displayName)))
