People picker field in SharePoint show null/empty in Flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 56

I have a Document Set in SharePoint and one of the columns is a people picker column. I can search and add someone via the people picker without any issue.

In Flow I want to send a shared link of the specific Document Set to this person via email.

However, it fails saying " 'To' cannot be null or empty"

This is the email set-up. I use the "Email" property that is automatically generated from the people picker:

To see what is really captured for "Lecturer 1" I added the field to a Word Template to populate the main object as well as the Email field:

Both the "Lecturer 1" object and the "Email" property returns nothing:

All other columns on the Document Set (e.g. "Module" and "Programme Offering") returns the data that was entered on the creation of the Document Set.

 

Am I missing something?

    I updated my Document Set settings and ticked all of the below:

    And it then passed the people picker information through.
