Posted on by 4

I have created a request time off form that populates an SPO list and now I want it to email the manager for approval, however, it is getting an error. I have verified the manager field is filled out on the employee's profile. Below is the error

An error occurred in retrieving manager information.
It's possible your AAD profile is missing manager details. <br/>Please see the link below to update your profile. <br/>

I went to the link but wasn't able to figure out what I am missing

    Hi @ajelder01 ,

     

    I tried replicating the below in my tenant and it was working as expected.

     

    Just checking that the manager value is populated in Azure Active Directory and not just SPO?

    I did confirm in Azure AD the manager field is populated. You mention in SPO as well. Where would I check that field in SPO?

    I am now getting this in the flow checker
