Hi @Core-Lynch ,

Do you want to add users into an Outlook Contact Group when a user is created in SharePoint Contact list?

Currently, we could create outlook contact item when a new item is created in SharePoint Contact list likes below:

However, it seems that there is no action could be used to add users into a Contact Group.

Please share more details on this issue for better understanding.

Best regards,

What I need to do is - create a separate contact in 10 users Outlook when an item is created or modified in a SharePoint Contact.

When I tried Flow, it has the action to create contact item in Outlook when an item is created in SharePoint Contact, but the Outlook can only be the same user who created the Flow.  How can I create item in other users Outlook account in the Flow?

Hi @Core-Lynch ,

Do you want to create contact in other users Outlook contact using Flow?

Currently, we could only create contact in Outlook contact to which the connection is created. So I you are able to create connections to others’ Outlook contact if you’ve already created a connection using their Outlook account info.

Further, you need to switch the connection to the corresponding one under My connections for each user.

Best regards,

I suspect the most effective way to do this is to use the contacts of a shared mailbox - you can potentially set up a service account which updates the contact groups for itself. I'm looking into this solution now.
