Hi,

As Mike mentioned you can use a!groupsByName() to check if group with that name exist or not, like

if(
  a!isNullOrEmpty(a!groupsByName("IN Users")),
  "Create group",
  "Never mind, don't create"
)

I have a scenario to check a group exists by it's name without group ID..

I'm having a text value and want to check if a group name similar to a text exists or not.

i.e., Suppose, I have a country Code of IN for the country INDIA, Now, I want to check if any group in name of eg:"IN Users"(text value which is to be created as a group) is present in the environment.. If it is not present, I will go ahead and create a group named "IN Users".

By what metric would you judge whether a group "already exists"? If you're just going by Group Name, you can always check the "get group by name" function and see if there are any results.
