Provision O365 Groups with custom SharePoint site template possible?
If you are in Targetted release you can now use the new Site Design scripts, and customise the default templates as per :-
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-overview
Thanks Stephen. That's exactly what I was looking for, with one exception. While this is possible when creating team sites from SharePoint, is there any way to apply this to sites that are automatically created when creating a new group elsewhere, such as Outlook? SharePoint automatically creates a new team site for this group, but doesn't provide the option to chose a template, so I'm wondering if I can tap into a webhook, or how I would be able to apply this to that scenario. Any info is appreciated!
Thanks.

The documentation says you can update the default design for team site template, I havent tested it but it would certainly seem reasonable that it should apply if that was created from other workloads.

I tried it, it works, and I wrote a blog ...
