Create a task, error 404

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am trying to create a task in Planner for a selected item in Sharepoint. And to assign the task to the project owner that is listed in the sharepoint list.  I am using the template flow for it, as I am not at all experienced with Flows. 

 

The flow stops at "create task" step and returns error 404: 

error": {
    "code""",
    "message""Referenced User or Group (xxxx@xxx.xx) is not found.",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id""2d266002-deb2-4acf-9fec-fe08ccdf523a",
      "date""2018-08-30T11:38:41"
    }

 

If I remove the Project Owner from the Assigned User ID, the task is created succesfully.  Can anyone provide me an easy solution for this?

    Hi @RUION,

     

    Are you using the template Create a Planner task for a selected item?

     

    Is the Project owner column of type Person or group? Which dynamic content are you using for the Assigned User Id field?

     

    I started the flow using the template. In the SharePoint list, I have a column named as Owner of type person or group.

     

    In the flow, I modified the Assigned User Id with the dynamic content Owner email.

     

    Add an action Delay before Update task details.

     

    When the flow is triggered, it works fine. The task can be created without issue.

    Please take it for a reference and try again on your side.

    Hi @v-yamao-msft

    Thanks for helping me on this issue.  

    I am using the template Create a Planner task for a selected item

    The Project Owner column in the sharepoint list is defined as Person or Group. 

     

    I still get an error when I run the flow. Full message of error: 

    {
      "error": {
        "code""",
        "message""Referenced User or Group (xxx@xxx.xx) is not found.",

    Hi @RUION,

     

    The images you provided cannot be checked on my side. Could you please send them again?

     

    The error says that user or group is not found, please check your Azure AD and make sure all the users’ profiles are created well in Azure AD.

     

    Best regards,
