Group Expiration Notification Email Not working
Hi TimBosch,
Thanks for answering! I've added the groups creation dates:
GroupA - SharePoint created - Got Teams Notification - 2023-06-19
GroupB - SharePoint created - (No Teams) - No notifications - 2023-11-01
GroupC - Teams created - Got Teams Notification - 2021-11-11
GroupD - Teams created - Got Teams notificatio* - 2021-11-10
*I got a new notification today for GroupD. So at least the Teams notifications seems to be working for 3 out of 4.
I am indeed able to create some testing groups, however that means I need to wait 30 days until I know if this is working or not...(?)
Or are the Email Notifications confirmed to be working only for Groups created after a specific date? I will try to find a group older that 30 days but newer than 6 months. However, we would like to test this feature as soon as possible or find some reliable documentation confirming that it's working, before communcating this to the whole organisation (: .
Thanks!
I find it particular special that the sharepoint created group has received a teams notification, also the reason that you only got an teams notification makes me suggest that there is a problem on the end of the receiver of emails. As you just got a notification from groupD it enhances the fact that there looks like to be an error on the email sending part of it.
I do have seen in the past that teams creation troubles the whole emailing bit of the group expiration and only sends a teams message(which is not the way it should function according to docs).
what you could do is creating a group with a expiration date 2 days from now, the system should send an notification on 30, 15, 1, and 1 hour before deletion.
Let me know!
Hi TimBosch
Thanks for your answer!
I don't know the technical magic behind this so it's all an equal mystery to me
(Group C & D are more or less the same kind of groups.)
If Teams notifications was the only option I would just have adapted to that but I like the idea of getting these email notifications since the feature (at least on paper
) is there... Or if we for a fact know when they are sent and not.So I can create a new Group and set a specific Expiration date 2 days from now? That would be nice of course, how do I do that?
Edit: Great! I did a deeper search and found the -ExpirationDateTime for Update-MgGroup, I will try that!
Maybe there other prerequisites that most take for granted but still need to be checked... hmmm- Great to see the deep dive!
I think one thing that is worth mentioning but is like stating the obvious, you need to have a expiration policy enforced at the moment.
This should enable you to check this better.
Please keep me posted! Would love to hear if and how you managed to do it!
