Can You Add Members To A Team And Not Generate The 'Welcome To / Intro To Teams' Email?
I'm creating a new Team and I have to add new user to this Team but I don't want that the users receive the welcome email. I had tried to disable this function with a rule filter in Exch...
Per this thread, it should work: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365-groups/how-to-remove-the-welcome-message-when-a-new-member-joins-a/m-p/56573....but there is also a user voice requesting this: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/37670815-disable-welcome-new-user-message
Hi jcgonzalezmartin, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I have used this solution, but it doesn't work:
Set-UnifiedGroup MyTeam -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$false PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-unifiedGroup | Select-object -Property DisplayName, WelcomeMessageEnabled DisplayName WelcomeMessageEnabled ----------- --------------------- MyTeam False
After this, when I add a new user, this user receive an invitations.
I don't know what can I do to solve this.
I have been speaking with Microsoft Teams Support and this is their reply:
hope my mail meets you wellThank you for your response.My understanding from the last mail sent by design it is not possible to restrict the email prompt gotten when a guest user is added to a team or channel, this was designed as a security measure to alert members of the teams just in the event of any security posing issues to the tenant/Organization.vcima
I have found that, if you use PowerShell to add members to the Office 365 Group connected to the Team, it will not send an email...Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity "<Group Name>" | Add-UnifiedGroupLinks -LinkType Members -Links <emailofmember>
- Just to confirm, this works great as no Teams notification is sent. Definitely agree that MS needs to make a change so these types of notifications can easily be disabled or customized.
Thanks for the tip!
