Microsoft Teams Automation - Create Team from Webhook

Fri, 03 Nov 2017 17:54:49 +0000

Today Microsoft released the Microsoft Teams Powershell Cmdlets module (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MicrosoftTeams/0.9.0). This allows you to use PowerShell as the first basic API for Teams. Bill Bliss (@bill_bliss) from the Teams Team (still awkward wording) told us this week on Monday in a session at Microsoft Vienna that they will push the PowerShell Cmdlets in the coming weeks and the Graph API will follow. To be honest didn’t believe that they would be that fast in releasing the bits but I’m more than happy now. To take this a little further I created an Azure Automation Runbook for the CreateTeams Cmdlet in my Azure Tenant. The Runbook itself can be triggered by a webhook. With that in hand, you basically can create a bot or a Teams app to create or update your Teams based on the cmdlets Microsoft released. The Runbook I created uses the basic steps for reading input from the webhook based on this blog post: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/stefan_stranger/2017/03/18/azure-automation-runbook-webhook-lesson-learned/``` [CmdletBinding()] Param ([object]$WebhookData) #this parameter name needs to be called WebHookData otherwise the webhook does not work as expected. $VerbosePreference = ‘continue’
