CreateChannel in GraphAPI sometimes results in not creating the corresponding Sharepoint/OneDrive
sgsmittal I see now that you are creating a standard (public) channel and not a private channel. Private channels essentially create a new site, but it seems to be a similar issue. The site doesn't get created until you click on the Files tab of the private channel.
jdmacdaddy, This is known issue. We are working on it.
Currently there is no workaround for this.
Abhijit_MSFT any news? 3 months later and the issue is still there in private channels.
@Abhijit_MSFT any new yet?
Curious if somebody has found a solution. Have a use case where I want to migrate on-prem content with ShareGate (content only jobs) to private channels of newly provisioned teams, have been doing some research, but did not find a solution yet.
Strange thing is however: if you have created (Graph calls) a private channel, going to files tab triggers creation of dedicated site collection ... any additional private channels you create via Graph calls also immediatly result in creation of site collections ...
[realy need a good answer ... I do not want to go through pain to open 1500-ish Teams, let alone also the pain in making user account owner, opening files, removing account ...]
And ... route to provision new sitecollection with TEAMCHANNEL#0 template, won't work .. you are not allowed to use this template.
[I do create folders in default site collection, f.e. general and for other channels, this to ensure ShareGate is able to copy content to these folders].
Abhijit_MSFT Is there any update on this.
I've experienced that visiting the files tab as member doesn't work.
In more details. We create a private channel using the GraphAPI, the files tab doesn't work, even if it's opened by a member. Only after opening it as an owner it started working.
Abhijit_MSFT : Please let us know if there is an API that we can call to provision the SharePoint site, we create multiple private channels everyday and we had to manually click on the Files tab which is a pain.
