Power Automate : Invite External User

By -

Managing collaboration and communication with external users is a challenge and InviteUser functionality in Azure help IT Managers simplify this. Lets see how we could invite an External user using Power Automate. Technically, I would recommend an approval process followed by an invite request. For this blog post, lets focus how we could invite an external user.

Initialize the TenantID, Client ID, SecretID in a variables. If you followed all the posts so far, you would know how to fetch the ClientID and SecretID (Azure AD app registration process). 


Use a http post api request to get the Token

Now Parse the Body to extract the access token and make another http post request with the customizedmessage. Something like the below :

Yellow : the external user details
Pink : if you like to CC the invitation so you keep track of all invitations
Blue : Customized message you like to send it to the external user
Orange : Where the external users are redirected to once they accept the invitation.

Typical Usecase : When you want some external user (could be a vendor or a customer) whom you want to securely collaborate and communicate say sharing files and having teams chat colloboration consistently, your best case scenario is to invite an external user as above.

I would make sure to have an Approval around this!

Anyone comes in home takes my password and it just worked great most of the time. all these were with windows server 2003 and Dell machaines. When I bought a new Hp DV9000 (XP) I had an issue connecting to the home wireless. I started browsing and found this solution: Issue : Couldn't connect to the selected connection. 1.

If you are running into a weird issue, where you get prompted for your credentials repeatedly in your local sharepoint server and was denied access to the site, even though you are using an administrator account, and if this happens only when you create a nice host header and on 80 port, then you are here at the right place - Just read the below. Method 1 works for me :  Click  Start , click  Run , type  regedit , and then click  OK . In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 Right-click  MSV1_0 , point to  New , and then click  Multi-String Value .
