Creating a folder in SharePoint when you don't know the full site URL

Working in a demo tenant and every team I spin up has a URL of something like https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/msteams_851011. How can I add folders to these newly created teams when the URL is unpredictable?

 

I am using this command and everything works but only when I run it after the site creation and have gone and looked up the random alphanumeric URL. In my company's tenant, every Teams site creates a SharePoint URL with the Team name there and not a random string.

 

Add-PnPFolder -Name NewFolder -Folder /sites/msteams_851011/Documents/CHANNELNAME

    Mitch Crump I have a foreach loop to return the full URL. I commented out the write-output piece because I just want the URL in the variable.

     

    $Teams = "Team1","Team2"

$Teams = (Get-Team |Select GroupId, DisplayName)
ForEach ($Team in $Teams)
   {
   $SPOURl = (Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity $Team.GroupId | Select -ExpandProperty SharePointSiteURL)
   #Write-Output "URL for the" $Team.DisplayName "team is" $SPOURL
   }
