Office365Outlook.sendmailV2 failed problem

I am sending an email with a pdf attachment which has worked fine until today.

Today I started getting the following error message:

"Office365Outlook.sendEmailV2 failed: The data returned in the response is invalid. Response data should be a valid JSON object."

The email still works as it should.

Any ideas why this error message is being displayed?

This is the code I'm using.

UpdateContext({varPDFBlob: PDF(contPDFText_1,{ExpandContainers: true})});
If(
 SendAssessmentEmail,
 
 Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
 If(
 cboxBlockEmail_1.Checked,
 varUserSettings.UserEmail,
 Not(cboxBlockEmail_1.Checked),
 varUserSettings.UserEmail & ";" & "another@email.com"),
 $"text text text {frmAssessment_1.LastSubmit.NameOfPersonBeingAssessed}",
 $"text text text",
 {Attachments: Table({Name: "Name of attachment " & frmAssessment_1.LastSubmit.NameOfPersonBeingAssessed & ".pdf", ContentBytes: varPDFBlob})}
 )
 );

Do you have the ParseJSON/Untyped feature setting enabled for your App?

Yes it is on. The email is sent and the pdf is attached and the error message is shown only after running the code.

Ok, the reason I ask is that the feature is still experimental, and as such shouldn't be used in any production/live apps (as it could break, change, or be removed at any time) - its likely that its treating the returned object as an incorrect type (UntypedObject) as I don't think its compatible with all function calls.

Have you tried casting it explicitly to JSON using the JSON() function? its kind of part of the issue with the ParseJSON/UntypedObject feature where you have to cast it explicitly - there's a feedback link here:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Experimental-Features/ParseJSON-feedback/m-p/1877977

Your second option would be to try turning off that feature and seeing if that resolves your issue?

Turning off the ParseJSON/Untyped feature setting does resolve the issue.

However I would like to experiment with the ParseJSON at the same time so what would be the correct way of using the JSON function in this case?

Upon further testing I'm getting the same error message with just the following basic code and ParseJSON/Untyped feature setting turned on:
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2( varUserSettings.UserEmail, "title text", "body text" )
I'll post this on the Experimental section as it seems to be only related to the ParseJSON/Untyped feature.
Thank you for your help.

I just started having the same issue yesterday. The only thing causing it in the app I'm working on is the Parse JSON experimental setting being turned on. hmmm
