Create distribution list from a SharePoint list
Loubnielsen Couple years late to the party, but since I was looking for roughly the same answer I figured I'd chime in, in case someone else was looking for my solution.
- Create an empty Outlook Group "examplegroup@test.com"
- Created a MS Flow with a "When an Item is created" trigger. Link to the SharePoint that the list resides
- "Add member to group"
-Group Id: "examplegroup@test.com"
-A user AAD ID for the user to **bleep** to a team: Title
Note: I changed the name of the title column to Email. Otherwise it might be something like Name Email. Play with the Dynamic content options till you find the right variable.
Now I just use the group email as the distro.
P.S. I made a second Flow to remove someone. It's almost identical except for instead of "Add member to group" its "Remove member from group"
P.P.S. pro tip: since the distro is being stored in an Outlook group instead of SharePoint list, I find it best to also have an action to "Delete item" at the end of the flow so there isn't an option to double up on anything when triggering the flow.
- SharePoint list column (Person or Group) that allows multiple entries
- Outlook Contact Group
I want to refresh the Contact Group from the names in the list column on a daily basis. I know how to work Power Automate/Workflows in Teams. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?
