M365 Groups Gallery + Group Types

Hello,

 

I'm currently working with a PowerApp Gallery that showcases all the M365 groups a user belongs to.

 

I aim to enhance the gallery by adding a new column that indicates the specific type of each group, for instance, is it a Yammer Group, Teams Groups, Exchange Group, etc. However, I'm encountering a challenge in retrieving this data using the M365 Groups Connector.

 

The gallery is configured with: Office365Groups.ListOwnedGroupsV3().value, and I'm utilizing labels to display details like DisplayName, Creation Date, and Visibility. My goal is to also include the group type, distinguishing whether it's a Yammer, Teams, or Exchange group, etc.

 

Could you advise if this is achievable and how I might proceed to obtain this information?

The end goal is that people can leave a M365 Group using the app, which I can achieve by a button that runs a flow. The problem is, people don't know what kind of group it is (Yammer, Teams, Exchange, etc.), so having that information displayed is a must for me.

from my point of view they are all M365 groups. what you can do though, is to get the information from which service it was provisioned
e.g.
scalca_0-1717664466204.pngscalca_1-1717664495852.png

this information is returned by the graph api with /groups/{group-id}
you could still use the office365groups connector because there is a HttpRequest function
the HttpRequestV2 requires a file as a third parameter, this is not well documented therefore I would stick to the original version for the moment, or use Power Automate instead

it would look like this
et(varGroupCreated, Office365Groups.HttpRequest("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/groupId","GET",""));
ClearCollect(colGroupcreatedType, Table(varGroupCreated.creationOptions));
Set(varType, Text(First(GroupcreatedType).Value))
you have to deal with untyped objects that's why you'll have to know how the responses looks like and then define the type of the field.

Yeah I found the "creationOptions" using PowerAutomate, but I don't get the data back using PowerApps. 

A potential solution could be:

  1. Trigger a PowerAutomate Flow with the OnStart event in PowerApps to fetch the user's groups.
  2. Pass the group data back to PowerApps and store it in a collection.
  3. Utilize the collection to construct the Gallery.

This approach is new to me, so I'll need to explore how to implement it, but it appears to be a viable option.

@scalcaI've recently managed to allocate some time to revisit this, as my focus was on other tasks over the past few weeks.

 

I've successfully configured my gallery to display the user's group by pulling data from a collection. The app's OnStart property is designed to retrieve the user's groups and populate a collection using the following command:

ClearCollect(colM365Groups, Office365Groups.ListOwnedGroupsV3().value);

 

I've also been examining your code to incorporate the CreationOptions into my gallery. For experimentation, I'm currently utilizing a 'More Info' button to get this to work.

The problem I'm running into is that I need to dynamically insert the group's ID when making a call to Graph. I'm attempting to use the following code:

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

 

How can I modify it to automatically input the group's ID? The ID is different for each line/group displayed in my Gallery.

 

Also, instead of the button "More Info" I think I should move this code into the App Onstart property as well, correct?

Then do a text label that displays the CreationOptions and add the variable as the item?

 

For instance App Onstart:

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

ClearCollect(colGroupcreatedType, Table(varGroupCreated.creationOptions));
Set(varType, Text(First(colGroupcreatedType).Value));

 

Then a text label in my gallery where Item is set: varType

 

Added a screenshot for your reference how the Gallery currently looks like.

For now I am using a hardcoded GroupID and it works. It does display "Team". Now I just need to figure out how to do a "for each" group in my gallery, get the creationOptions.
