Getting user entra ID from email

(1) ShareShare

Hi
 
I have a series of sharepoint lists, each of which have person objects for one of the fields. I need to add people from 2 of the lists as an entra group owners when a third list is updated.
The problem I am having is that I can't get the Entra object ID from the 2nd and 3rd list from their email address.
I've tried "Send an HTTP request" from both Office 365 Outlook and Office 365 Users, but neither of these work, though the graph explorer finds the object. The compose shows the same URI as used in graph explorer.
 
The setup is
 
List1: Manager field is person object
List2: Manager field is person object
List3: Items get added to this, Entra group is created, Managers from Lists 1 & 2 get added as owners to the group.
 
 
 

 
Any assistance would be greatly received.
 
Thanks
 
Matt

    I managed to get this working using the 'Invoke an HTTP request' from "HTTP with Microsoft Entra ID (preauthorised)"

    Did you try to use "Search for users (V2)" action of the "Office 365 Users" connector?

    Hi
     
    Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Surely what I'm trying to do isn't impossible??
     
    Thanks
