Set Group Image via Flow/Logic Fails with Status 400 Bad Request

Posted on 22 Apr 2020 16:37:20 by deanbot88 4

Struggling with SharePoint HTTP Request: _api/groupservice/SetGroupImage via Flow/Logic. This request succeeds when run via an spfx site extension (i.e. https://github.com/Puzzlepart/spfx-solutions/blob/master/Pzl.Ext.GroupLogo/src/extensions/groupLogo/GroupLogoApplicationCustomizer.ts#L101).

 

Task: Send an HTTP request to SharePoint

Site Address: https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[MyTeamSite]
Method: POST
Uri: _api/groupservice/SetGroupImage

Body: [File Content retrieved via 'Get file content using path' task] (looks like "�PNG\r\n\u001a\n\u0000\u0000[...]")

Headers: {

"Content-Type": "image/png",
"Accept": "application/json;odata=nometadata"

}


I'm using a connection user which is an o365 group owner for the group.

Outputs:

 "body": {
        "status": 400,
        "message": "{\"odata.error\":{\"code\":\"-1, System.Net.WebException\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en-US\",\"value\":\"The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.\"}}}\r\nclientRequestId: [...]\r\nserviceRequestId: [...]",
        "source": "https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[MyTeamSite]/_api/groupservice/SetGroupImage",
        "errors": []
    }

    @JohnAageAnderse Worth a shot. No change when I tried with a jpg image and image/jpeg content type unfortunately.

    Hello @deanbot88 

    When you ran it with the spfx site extension, did you use the same image?

    I just wonder, as the spfx site extension states that it accepts JPEG images. No mention of PNG. The API could have that limit - so have you tried with a JPEG image instead?

    Kind regards, John
