Difficulty Creating a Task in Project Online from SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I'm facing challenges with my workflow in Power Automate. I'm trying to create a task in Project Online whenever a new item is added to a SharePoint list.

 

However, I've encountered an issue at the "Creates new task" action. It returns an error stating "The response is not in a JSON format." I've tried troubleshooting this on my own but haven't been successful.

 

Could someone please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No,

    the root site url and project id should be the same as in create a file?

    Did you put a (checkin and) publish action after adding the task?

    Thank you for the help, it solved the JSON issue!

    However, now I have a new problem when it comes to saving it to the project.

    You're passing a wrong value for the ProjectId, looks like the ProjectIdentifier instead of the ProjectId (GUID) of the project.

     

    Also the root site URL seems wrong. Usually you only pass the part until /pwa, but that could be correct if you have a non-standard setup.
