Create Team

Overview

The Create Team activity calls the Microsoft Graph CreateTeam API to create a new team (Name) according to your specified structure (Template) and visibility type (Visibility - Public or Private).

After creating your new team, the activity outputs its properties in a Team object that you can use as input variables in subsequent activities (e.g., Team.Id in Get Channels, Update Channel, etc.).

How It Works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

  1. Complete the Setup steps.
  2. Add the Microsoft Teams Scope activity to your project.
  3. Add the Create Team activity inside the Microsoft Teams Scope activity.
  4. Enter values for the Input properties.
  5. Create and enter a Team variable for your Output property.
  6. Run the activity.

    • Your input property values are sent to the CreateTeam API.
    • The API returns the Team value to your output property variable.
