Adding the Microsoft Entra ID New Group Event to the Workflow

Add Microsoft Entra ID New group as the triggering event of a Workflow or as an event anywhere else in the Workflow, where relevant. When this event occurs, the Workflow begins or continues running.

To select the Microsoft Entra ID New group event as the Workflow trigger

  1. In the Trigger Type pane, under Group Created or Updated, click the Microsoft Entra ID New group tile. The Microsoft Entra ID New group configuration opens in the Trigger Type pane.
  2. If there is no valid adapter connection or events are not enabled in the adapter, configure a valid adapter connection and/or enable events in the adapter.
  3. When events are enabled in a valid adapter connection, the following screen appears:

The Workflow is triggered each time a group is added to Microsoft Entra ID. The next node runs on the retrieved group.

To select Microsoft Entra ID New group as a non-triggering event

  1. In the Event pane, under Group Created or Updated, click the Microsoft Entra ID New group tile. The Microsoft Entra ID New group configuration opens in the Event pane.
  2. If there is no valid adapter connection or events are not enabled in the adapter, configure a valid adapter connection and/or enable events in the adapter.
  3. When events are enabled in a valid adapter connection, the following screen appears:

In this case, when a group is created in Microsoft Entra ID for a user asset retrieved from the previous node, an event occurs and the Workflow continues running.
