Error on creation of onenote flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a onenote flow, but the section id list gave me the error:

"Could not retrieve values. The OData query is invalid. An identifier was expected at position 21."

    Hi Samuele,

     

    I got the same error when trying to access Section ID in OneNote trigger/action.

    I will try to report this to the product team and will update you once I got any further information.

     

    Regards,

    Mona

    I came across the same bug as well. Tried manually put in a id from the URL from a page, but just didn't work (invalid id error).

     

     "message": "The section id is invalid. If a custom value was entered, please try selecting from the supplied values."

    Hi Samuele,

     

    I got the update that the fix is currently in our deployment train. I believe that it will be fixed in not a very long time.

    I'm receiving this same issue. I need to be able to automate emails to one-note but I cannot select a onenote section ID and I cannot use the GUID that I get from copying the link.

    Help, for me this still doesn't work. When I want to select the section id , I get following error :

     

    Can not get values. Unable to construct notebook list url.

    The first problem i got is getting the sections in the Section ID : line
    Getting the error: Could not retrive values. Error: One or more of the documents libraries contains more than 5,000 OneNote items (notebooks, sections, groups) and cannot be required using the API....

     

    The second problem :
    Instead im trying to Enter a custom value. But when entering the Section ID, i get the error:
    "message": "The section id is invalid. If a custom value was entered, please try selecting from the supplied values.
    Even though the SectionID is valid.

    Im stuck..
