Posted on by jimkpncarena

Hi,

I am trying to use the Http GET request. (either strait HTTP connector "When an HTTP reponse is received" or SharePoint connector named the same) ,the The Url after I save is not complete.

All I get is: https://prod-39.westus.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/45dcf51e64e34abba0a09c90239b95fe/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01

Why am I only getting an abbreviated version of my GET URL ??

Can I somehow build the remainder of the GET URL ???

Thanks, I AM STUCK!!

Jim

P.S I am doing this so I can send on embedded image to Gmail. This Get/response methos seems to work, but I cannot get the complete GET URL.

Is this the action you are referring to:

If so, the URL is not generated until you save the flow, and then click on the icon to the right of the URL to copy it. If this isn't what you are referring to, please share a picture of your flow and it will clarify your post. As they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

So based on the image you shared, you are using the image you shared, you are using the trigger I mentioned below. The URL in the image looks accurate to me. Why do you believe it is not complete? Note, this action is designed to be run when you POST a request to the URL, not a GET request.

Based on what you show in your flow, I don't even see why you need this trigger to begin with. Why are you using it instead of manually triggering the flow?

The whole purpose of this flow in the end is to be able to Embed an image in an email that is send to Gmail users.

From what I can find, this is the only way to do it, since Gmail does not display Base64 images.

I goggled and googled and this seems to be the way to do it......create a GET url and call it using HTML in the body of my SendMailV2.

What's your idea? I'm all ears!!!

I don't know how to resolve your issue with images in e-mails to Gmail, but how you are using the action When an HTTP request is received is most likely not going to work. The purpose of the trigger “When an HTTP Request is Received” action in Power Automate allows you to trigger a flow when an HTTP request is sent to a specific URL (the one generated from the action). This is useful for integrating Power Automate with other systems or services that can send HTTP requests. This blog post may help to explain it better Power Automate: When an HTTP request is received Trigger - Manuel T. Gomes.

If somehow this is actually what you want to do, then you need another workflow that sends an HTTP Post request to the URL generated from your current trigger, and a JSON Scheme needs to be defined in the current flow. Here is an example of how to use these actions:

Workflow 1: Sends an HTTP POST request to trigger flow two and include JSON data that is processed by the second flow.

Workflow 2 (the one you currently have set up), takes the data send and gets a related SharePoint item to continue the process:

Again, I don't know what you're trying to do regarding the images and Gmail, but you would need to pass the data in the body of the HTTP POST request in workflow 1 for it to then be processed and used in workflow 1.

If this makes sense, then mark this as the answer and then post a new question asking how to embed an image in an e-mail action for Gmail. Someone may have an answer to that for you.

You should not publicly post the URL generated from these actions, as hackers can use them to try and run your flow. Note, the URL you posted is complete, as I tested it with Postman.
