Provision O365 Groups with custom SharePoint site template possible?
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 ...
- Same thing can be done through remote provisioning...indeed remote provisioning is much more powerful to extend an existing SPO Site (no matter the template of from where it was created) compared with what you can do Today with Site Scripts....Although I'm expecting that in the future there will be a parity between both approaches
Yes, but you need to know to trigger it. Site Designs apply automatically, you can even use them to trigger a Flow that could then use the SharepPoint PnP Powershell to customise the site further than is possible in Site Designs.
