Something like this:

```ruby
group_names.each do |name|
  begin
  response = client.create_group(name: name,
    visibility_level: 0,
    members_visibility_level: 0,
    mentionable_level: 3,
    messageable_level: 3,
    public_exit: true,
    public_admission: true
  )
  group_id = response["basic_group"]["id"]
  group_name =response["basic_group"]["name"]
  puts "Created #{group_name}(#{group_id})"
  sleep 1
rescue => e
  puts "oops. Had a problem with #{name} #{e}"
  sleep 1
end

```
