Create Team in Graph API returns BadRequest: Unable to read JSON request payload. - Support and Troubleshooting

Create Team in Graph API returns BadRequest: Unable to read JSON request payload. Issue When attempting to Create Team using the Graph API, the action results in the message:

"code": "BadRequest", "message": "Unable to read JSON request payload. Please ensure Content-Type header is set and payload is of valid JSON format.",

This is also present when using the OOTB payload from Create Team in a REST client such as Postman. The default payload being used is:

Method "PUT"

Headers [{"attributes":{"omit_if_empty":false},"name":"Content-Type","value":"application/json"}]

Payload { "memberSettings": { "allowCreateUpdateChannels":, "allowDeleteChannels": , "allowAddRemoveApps": true, "allowCreateUpdateRemoveTabs": true, "allowCreateUpdateRemoveConnectors": }, "guestSettings": { "allowCreateUpdateChannels": , "allowDeleteChannels": }, "messagingSettings": { "allowUserEditMessages": true, "allowUserDeleteMessages": true, "allowOwnerDeleteMessages": true, "allowTeamMentions": true, "allowChannelMentions": true }, "funSettings": { "allowGiphy": true, "giphyContentRating": "Strict", "allowStickersAndMemes": true, "allowCustomMemes": true } }

Release Orlando Patch 7

Resolution Resolved this by limiting the payload and making a change to the endpoint used as follows:

Modified (working) Create Teams:

Method "PUT"

Endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/${groupID}/team

Payload { "memberSettings": { "allowCreatePrivateChannels": true, "allowCreateUpdateChannels": true }, "messagingSettings": { "allowUserEditMessages": true, "allowUserDeleteMessages": true }, "funSettings": { "allowGiphy": true, "giphyContentRating": "strict" } }
