Manually trigger flow with button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 381

I'm trying to build a 'button' flow that will add an item (or 2) to a Microsoft ToDo List.  I don't really need anything other than the item; i.e., date is not needed, reminder is not needed, due date is not needed.

Below is my flow.

Below is my error message when testing the flow.

I don't understand the message.

 

From what I can decipher the only 'required' inputs  on the 'Update to-do' are 'To-do List' and 'To-do Task' which I believe I have provided.  The error message speaks to 'text_1' doesn't exist and 'text_1' is referenced in the 'Body Content' section which I believe is an optional input.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there.  So the step you chose is "Update" To-Do rather than "Add To-Do".  In the field "To-Do-Task", it's asking "Which To-Do would you like to update?" and you're answering with a combination of brand new to-do's.  Try swapping out the action for "Add To-Do" and see if that helps.

     

    Also, when you put the two next to each other as you have, it will end up looking like "Get GroceriesChange Oil" rather than two separate tasks.  Try adjusting your trigger so you're only accepting one addition at a time if that's your goal.

     

    Good luck, and keep us posted.
