Help to check if the user is member of AD group even before using "Add user to a Group" activity?

Does anyone know of the best way we can perform a pre check to see if the user is apart of a AD group prior to running the Add user to a Group" activity?

We have a workflow that is adding users to AD groups, however, if the user is already apart of the AD group the workflow activity fails. We would like to do a pre check and see if the user is already apart of the AD group to bypass the 'add user to a group' activity. I have looked into using the query AD activity but not sure of the exact configuration.

Hi,

I believe you must be using AD orchestration pack here;

you can use query AD activity with the samaccountname

then in the response of this activity parse the response and check if the group is present

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hi Ankur,

Could you provide some further detail on this, any hits on the query AD activity syntax and how to parse the results is what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Alistair
