How Add Shared Channel Members works

5 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Find the shared channelMatch the requested channel and check whether it is shared. Ask for the exact link or explain when its type blocks channel-only access.
  2. Check who can joinCheck whether each person already has access or can join under external sharing rules. Ask for an exact account when a name is unclear.
  3. Get owner approvalRequest approval from a channel owner when your setup rule requires it. Hold invitations until the owner explicitly approves.
  4. Add eligible peopleAdd eligible people to the shared channel after any required approval. Verify access without granting parent-team membership.
  5. Reply with the resultReply in the original chat with each person's result. Explain failed invitations or approvals that still need an owner.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Add Shared Channel Members:

Can I add a member to a Teams channel but not the team?

You can add eligible people to an in-scope shared channel without adding them to the team. Standard and private channels cannot use this channel-only route.

Who approves a shared channel invitation?

You choose whether a channel owner must approve requests from other teammates. The Agent waits for that owner's reply before changing membership.

What if someone already has access or cannot join?

You get a person-by-person reply. The Agent skips anyone who already has access and explains blockers, such as an unclear account or external sharing rules.

What do I need to set up?

You choose the request chat and channels this Agent may change. You also set the owner approval rule and connect the needed channel permissions.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
