We've expanded our workflow to accommodate all group types by adding logic to check the group type. This guides the workflow towards the appropriate action, whether it's Exchange Online or Microsoft Graph, ensuring the correct process is implemented for each group type.

In the next lesson, we'll explore error handling, how it works, and implement a method of error handling using feedback messages to highlight potential issues and bring awareness to any problems in the workflow.
