Posted on by srirams007 Microsoft Employee

Context : I am trying to bring the data from the service now using power automate and pass it as custom data source to Generative AI activity in the PVA. But i am getting the below error.

 

 "Expected string". Even if i pass a string object, still i am getting the same error. Did anyone face this issue earlier ?

Expected string but found: StartObject at position

    Hi @srirams007 ,

     

    There is a known issue on the custom data node. 

    This should work if I manually configure the Generative Answers node in YAML:
     
        - kind: SearchAndSummarizeContent
          id: searchAndSummarizeContent_kkZQMC
          userInput: =Activity.Text
          moderationLevel: High
          variable: Topic.GeneratedAnswer
          publicDataSource:
            kind: PublicSiteSearchDataSource

          sharePointSearchDataSource: {}
          customDataSource:
            searchResults: =Topic.JSONCustomData
