Issue sending email from flow : "message": "Id is malformed."

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

I created my first flow

        "When a file is changed -> Forward an e-mail message"

 when I activate the trigger, modifying the file, I get the following error

 

Codice di stato
400
 

{
  "error": {
    "code""ErrorInvalidIdMalformed",
    "message""Id is malformed."
  }
}

 

Thanks for any help

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

     

    The error message told that there is something wrong with the input parameters that you provided within the "Forward an email" action.

     

    Please check if you have provided proper Message Id (the unique identifier of the Outlook message) within the Message Id field of the "Forward an email" action.

     

    In addition, please also check if you have provided a proper email address which ends with a semicolon (;) within the To field of the "Forward an email" action.

     

    I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:15.JPG

     

     

    More details about the "Forward an email" action of Office 365 Outlook connector, please check the following article:

    Forward an email

     

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I think there is something wrong with your flow's configuration.

     

    The Message Id field of the "Forward an email" action is required to provide a Message Id (the unique identifier of the Outlook message) of an Outlook email rather than the Dynamic contents that you selected from the trigger (the trigger from OneDrive connector or OneDrive for Business connector).

     

    More details about the "Forward an email" action of Office 365 Outlook connector, please check the following article:

    "Forward an email" action

     

    If you type the Dynamic contents from the trigger (the trigger from OneDrive connector or OneDrive for Business connector) within the Message Id field of the "Forward an email" action, the flow would fail. You should provide a Message Id dynamic content for the Message Id field of the "Forward an email" action.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi @v-xida-msft ,

     

    How do you get the Message-id and in what format is the parameter expected in?

     

    I put in a variety of combinations, all of which either got the 'id is malformed' error or an 'invalid JSON' error:

     

    I tried:

     

    Variation 1:

     

    <JNAP275MB0591189790D933E7AC234D21F1189@JNAP275MB0591.ZAFP275.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

     

    Variation 2:

     

    JNAP275MB0591189790D933E7AC234D21F1189@JNAP275MB0591.ZAFP275.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM

     

    Variation 3:

     

    JNAP275MB0591189790D933E7AC234D21F1189

     

    Variation 4:

    {

    "Message-ID":
    "JNAP275MB0747E99F61DB95900A1B609390169@JNAP275MB0747.ZAFP275.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM"

    }

     

    I don't understand how it wants it. Please can you give guidance?

     

    Thanks for all your help.

     

    Regards,

     

    Daniel
