Can you get a group ID from a Group display name?

[Carl__D]

Can you get a 365 Group ID from a Group Display Name in Power Automate?

In Graph I would use: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=displayName eq '[Group Name]'

But I can't get this to work in an HTTP call?

Thanks

Hi @Carl__D,

Just to double check, have you added the ConsistencyLevel: eventual to the Header of your request?

If saying "In Graph" you mean the Graph Explorer tool, why don't you do the same GRAPH request using the "Send an HTTP request" action of  the "Office 365 groups" connector?

I am able to get it, check if your login has consent to get group details if not give permissions and try again

Thanks for letting me know this could be done! I tried all suggestions and was having the same issue but it turns out I had to add '+' for Flow to accept it:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=displayName+eq+'[Group Name]'

Which HTTP Request action are you using?

I tried using Group > Send an HTTP request (Preview) with the URI

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups$filter=displayname+eq+'groupdisplayname'

and got the following error:

URI path is not a valid Graph endpoint, path is neither absolute nor relative or resource is not one of the supported (me, users, groups, sites, search, planner, teams, chats)

UPDATE - I fixed this error using this technique -https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Power-Automate-O365-Groups-activities-Get-group-I...

But I still cannot extract the Group ID.  

Also, I'm trying to get the Group ID after I find the entry with the correct Display Name.

Thanks in advance.
