Hello, I hope can someone help me on this error. I have a flow that when I saved a file on OneDrive Folder, It will send an email to a specific recipient. I used the "Last modified by" on From(Send as) field so that if I am leave, my back up will do the saving on the specific OneDrive Folder, but I've encountered this error: The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Send_an_email_(V2)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'emailMessage/From' is required to be of type 'String/email'.

 

Is there a solution for this? Appreciate your feedback.

    Hi Zerovirusity,

     

    Error is not required more details as it is saying 'emailMessage/From' is required to be of type 'String/email'. Please input the value in its required format.

     

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Abdul, thank you for your response and suggestion. can you please teach me how can I do that if I am using the dynamic content "Last modified by". please see below screenshot. I have to use this because I want the user who saved on OneDrive be the sender of the auto email on the recipient.

    Hi Zerovirusity,

     

    Grap it in data operations first and check its value. If it gives what you required then use that data operation there.

     

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks for this. I will try to play this Data Operation because the Output is still the same as Input. I will try to find another way to convert the Input to Output in an email address format

    Hi @Zerovirusity  

     

    Last modified by this dynamic content returns the user's name instead of the email.

    You can add Search for users to get emails.

    Hello Levi, Thank you for this. It works for me. I added a Switch flow if in case a new user modified or saved on the OneDrive folder.
