Viva Engage Post Message Broken

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

I am trying to run this flow to post a message to Viva Engage, this was working back in August but now the flow returns an error

 

This is the flow

This is the error: The response is not in a JSON format. Also says Forbidden, but the connections are all active and I even recreated the connection but still no go

    Hi @MjClarke,

     

    Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce your issue in my development environment. See my test below. 

     

    Can you share what else you used in the configuration of your action. What did you use under the show advanced options?

    Hi @Expiscornovus 

     

    I have no additional parameters added, after some Testing, I am able to successfully post to an alternative group, just not the "All Company" page for whatever reason

    Hi @MjClarke,

     

    Hmm, that is strange, the show more button in your screenshot suggests that you have other configuration settings.

     

    Can you share what is configured in the raw inputs of your action?

    Hi @Expiscornovus 

     

    Super strange! I feel like it must be something to do with the All Company page because I cant post there but heres the raw input...

     

    Seems like everything is correct..

    {
     "host": {
     "connectionReferenceName": "shared_yammer_1",
     "operationId": "PostMessage"
     },
     "parameters": {
     "input/group_id": 0,
     "input/body": "test"
     }
    }

     

    This is the output

    Hi @MjClarke,

     

    Thanks for sharing that raw inputs.

     

    As a comparison, below is my raw inputs.

     

    Your network_id property and value seem to be missing in the raw inputs, although I see it in your screenshot.

     

     

     

    {
     "host": {
     "connectionReferenceName": "shared_yammer",
     "operationId": "PostMessage"
     },
     "parameters": {
     "input/group_id": 0,
     "input/body": "Test",
     "network_id": "Default"
     }
    }

    Hi @Expiscornovus 

     

    Ah sorry, showing you different runs, I've ran this many times trying out different settings. I've also deleted the flow and recreated, deleted the connections and recreated lol

    Hi @MjClarke,

     

    Just to double check. Can you actually post a message via the interface in the All Company group on Viva Engage/Yammer with the account you used in the connection? 😁

    Hi @Expiscornovus 

     

    Ya, haha, I've already tried. I can post fine to the All Company page via the web interface just fine!

    Hi @MjClarke,


    In that case I don't have any suggestions anymore other than contacting Power Automate support to see if they might be able to help you out? 😁
