Posted on by yoyo5795

Hello,

I am creating a flow to automatically save emails to a folder in OneDrive. It worked once and I didn't get the results I wanted so the next time I tweaked it, it stopped working and even when I reset it to the way it was, it refuses to work at all.
I'm getting the following output in the OneDrive for Business - Create File connector.

{ "status": 400,

"message": "Invalid request",

"source": "api.connectorp.svc.ms" }

I have also attached a few screenshots of the flow.
Thank you in advance for your help.!

When you Test the flow are you sending a new email with a different subject? The OneDrive create file action will fail if you try to overwrite an existing file. Also, make sure that the full root of the folder path exists. The action can create a folder, but only if the parent folder already exists. Since you are nesting your folder inside a From folder make sure the From folder is valid.

I solved it with a compromise of not creating a folder for each email and only saving the .eml file. I don't know if there is another solution but for now I am going with this. Thanks for your help anyways

@Pstork1 I have the same issue. The parent folder eg. C:\one-drive\parent exists.

I've tested it a lot this morning and:

Works:

Hard coding the new path C:\one-drive\parent\subject it creates the file even though that folder does not exist.

Fails

Using the dyanamic content as shown above

Composing the dynamic portion of the path using substring() and passing the outputs(compose) to the path.

C:\one-drive\parent\outputs(compose)

Creating the folder C:\one-drive\parent\subject and using any combination of the above dynamic content in the path to determine the folder path

So it seems to be related to the email V3 dynamic output. What is automate expecting for the path? A string? If yes shouldn't compose have worked?

Of course right after I post my research I find the solution.

It will not work if you copy the folder path which looks like this:

C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Documents\Parent

Instead I navigated to the folder path in automate and copied the text it gave me which was this:

/Documents/Parent

So the path line will look like:

/Documents/Parent/[Dynamic]/[filename].eml
