How to pull channel names from External Teams Tenant to Internal Teams
Hi, I have been using the MS Teams as a regular internal members. Now my company added me as a "Guest" to the "External" Tenant teams. I can switch back and forth between the internal and the exter...
- AFAIK, you can't do it as a guest. It is a restricted account
Ed is correct. You won’t be able to access external tenants from your tenants power automate. You can have someone create a powerapp or http webhook to kick off flows in the other tenant but as a guest you won’t have access to do much and you can’t be shared directly flows in that tenant to your guest account.
Hi Chris and Ed,
Thanks for your confirmation.
1. So, I assume, there cannot be any type of flows that I can use with the External Tenant using "Power Automate" functionality. Basically "Power Automate" is useless in External Tenant.
2. Any detailed information on how to make the default "Approval status" (through Require content approval for submitted items) functional in Sharepoint?. I am not able to assign a approver(s) to a file from Sharepoint.
Thanks

sunshine36 Users of the external tenant can use Power Automate just fine, but if you are a guest then you can not. It make sense, organisations wouldn't want automations running from other tenants effecting their data.
I'm fairly sure that the new Shared Channels feature that is soon to hit public preview will not have this limitation. Then you are not a guest, rather simply a member of a Team that's hosted in another tenant. I've not tried using it with PA yet, so I guess it might need some updates to support in the actions.
- Yeah I’d be curious if they add support across tenant like that with shared channels but I highly doubt it’ll work or be in for a long while. We still don’t even have planner app in private / shared channels ;).
