Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

I have an automated from blank flow that sends an email to the responder when a submission is made on our Microsoft Forms survey. It was working perfectly earlier this morning, but it now throwing the following error:

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Send_an_email_(V2)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'emailMessage/To' is required to be of type 'String/email'. The runtime value '"anonymous"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'string/email'.

Here is a top level view of the flow:

Here is the error details:

Here is the entire flow broken out (part 1):

Here is the entire flow broken out (part 2 - rest of Send an email (V2)):

Any ideas on how to correct this error?

Thank you!

Hello @Anonymous

it looks like the email address that is trying to send to is ‘anonymous’ which is not a valid email.

There is an option in MS forms to record name.

It might be disabled.

Hello,
I am facing the same issue.
OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Send_an_email_(V2)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'emailMessage/To' is required to be of type 'String/email'. The runtime value '"abc@gmail.com;;;bcd@gmail.com;bde@gmail.com\n"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'string/email'.
I thought \n is where the problem is but in the To field i don't see it and also there are no extra " (quotations)
In the To field i see: abc@gmail.com;;;bcd@gmail.com;bde@gmail.com
