Is it possible to get incoming emails from a DL within a Teams channel?

As the title above, I have a DL and a teams channel I wish to receive the incoming emails from the DL in.

We did something similar but different with a forward-only shared mailbox that forwarded to a distro. Look up how to set up a shared mailbox as empty and forward-only. There's a very specific, unusual method and sequence you need to do.

Ask the owner of the DL to add your teams email to the list.

Can’t be done as the teams email can’t be added in “members of” section in AD

AD doesn't manage your Distribution List, that would be Exchange.

We have on prem AD which syncs to exchange but we can only manage the members and such through on prem AD.

You could power automate this but you need to allow http calls within your tenant. The flow agent would collect the emails and then forward to the channel.

Click your teams channel, choose "get email address" and make it a member of your DL.

I tried this and it would not allow me to add the email address to the DL on AD

It's an external domain (it doesn't belong to your AD), which is where you are having the issue. Making a contact for it will solve the problem.

Might need to create a Contact for it first

Teams Workflows probably.

I wouldn’t see why not.
I have a shared mailbox and have it come into teams using Power Automate.
