Hi

please could some assist, 

I am trying to update the "rate column" based on whether a new item is created or modified... 

I am getting this error only when the trigger is modified but works fine when its a new item created.

This exact same set up is working when updating rate when a new item is created but throws an error when an item is modified

    Hi @KeithMontana ,

     

    If you would like to update a specific item in the library, you should use the Patch method than Post method:

    Send An HTTP Request To SharePoint In Power Automate (MS FLOW) (c-sharpcorner.com)

     

    Best regards,

    I am by no means an expert with HTTP requests, but I have done a couple following instructions on the web. I believe you need to remove the %20 in your library name in the Uri string and just use the display name of your document library as it is displayed in the site contents. However, to confirm this, I renamed a list I am currently testing with several http requests and updating the Uri to the new display name of the list worked.

     

    However, you still may need to do what @v-jefferni said. My flow uses Patch to update the list as well.
