Features

This is a bot built and targeted to be used within a Dataverse for Teams environments. No premium licenses are required.

The bot is triggered by any of the phrases:

• Create a site
• Create a SharePoint site
• I want a site
• I want a SharePoint site
• Give me a site

You can then choose to create a Communication site or a Team site.

After specifiying your site name, the bot will then trigger a Power Automate flow that handles the SharePoint site creation (part of the solution package).

Before creating the site, the flow checks if a site with the same destination URL exists. If it does not exist then if the site to be created is a Communication Site, it will use the SharePoint REST API to create it, if it is a Team site we use Microsoft Graph (using the Send an HTTP request - Preview action from the Office 365 Groups connector).
