Flow - Adding data to SharePoint people/groups field

Hi All,

 

I wondered how I can setup a flow to fill in a people/group lookup field in SharePoint?

 

I have tried using an email address but this fails with bad request.

    Hi @dnewton,

     

    Can you please post a screenshot of your Flow configuration?

    Hi @dnewton,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

    Could you please show a bit more about your error message?

    Further, could you please share a bit more about your SharePoint list?

     

    I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned. My flow's configuration as below:7.JPG

    The flow works successfully as below:8.JPG

    Please check if the email address that you filled within Person or group field of "Create item" action is existed in your Office 365 organization.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
