Using Microsoft Graph

Posted on by Jonathan92

Hi everyone,

I'm still searching how I could create a new team with its members and channel in Teams directly from Dynamics 365 through using Microsoft Graph.

I thought about creating a custom button thanks to XRMToolBox on the form in Dynamics 365 then relate a web resource to the button which calls a POST request to the Graph API and creates the team in Teams.

However, I'm not sure how Microsoft Graph should be implemented when used with Dynamics and if this is the right logic to have.

I'm waiting for you to help me on this subject as that is a very modern way to proceed.

Hope someone will answer my call, thank you

RE: Using Microsoft Graph

Hi Clofly,

I'm not sure to have understood why using a form as the origin of the flow ?

There was an issue with the JSON for the POST request, so I suppressed everything but the displayName and then it was correct.

After that I answer the form and I received an approval submission by email. I clicked Approve but until now I don't see the team in Teams neither I received an email of confirmation from the end of the flow for both true and false (I added to the last condition to false I added an email sending to announce me an error). I think the http request not even got sent.

Is flow the only way to use the Graph API ?

best regards,

Jonathan

RE: Using Microsoft Graph

Hi Jonathan92,

Maybe you don’t need to new a custom button, you can use flow to call Graph API to create a team.

As an example we will create a team in Microsoft Teams with the help of a simple form in Microsoft Forms, Microsoft Flow and Microsoft Graph API.

You can refer following links:

https://modernworkplace.fremmegaard.no/2019/06/19/use-graph-api-in-flow-and-create-a-team/

Here are steps:

1. Create an App registration in Azure AD.

In the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/#home), go to Azure Active Directory and select App registrations. Click on the New application registration.

make a note of the Application and Directory IDs.

select API Permissions > Graph API > Application permissions

grant required permissions to the application.

select Certificates and secrets. Select New client secret. And make a note of the secret.

2. Create a form.

Go to https://forms.office.com and create a new form.

3. Create a flow.

Go to https://flow.microsoft.com

create some variables. These variables are the application (client) id, directory (tenant) id and secret.

select Add an action and search for Forms again and select Get response details.

add another action and search for Approval and select Start an approval. Fill in the approval similar to below.

set condition.

add this action in Yes.

Regards,

Clofly
