Office hours questions and answers

How do you invoke a flow with an API endpoint using OAuth 2.0?

The Invoke a flow with an API endpoint using OAuth 2.0 page has information about invoking a flow secured with OAuth 2.0.

How do we create a report with information from the log and email the report on schedule?

The high-level steps are like this:

• Search the System Log (Search System Logs card).
• Save the result into a Workflows table.
  • Use the List — For each card, process the log search result by saving each record into a table row.
• Export the table to a CSV file (Tables — Export to CSV card).
• Send an email with the CSV file attached (the Gmail — Send Email with Attachment card or Microsoft 365 Mail — Send Email card.

The following KB articles provide similar examples:

• Save Deactivated Users, Export as CSV, and Email in Workflows.
• How to Write Output From the List Users Card to a CSV File in Workflows.

How do I search for users with a particular user profile field present?

I use the Sync Okta Group Membership with Office 365 Unified Groups template. I noticed my O365 groups are being created as ‘public’ rather than ‘private.’ Can you help set it to private during creation?

The template flow uses the Azure Active Directory —Custom API Action card to create the group. The card doesn’t pass the group visibility attribute. Add the visibility attribute in the Object – Construct card and set it to one of the group visibility options.
