Malformed ID error in office 365 Groups Connector

Posted on by neethomas

I am trying to call the 'Send an HTTP request' action API from the office 365 Groups connector. The URL I am trying to call is "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{mailfolder_id}" which is a Graph API. This API works without any problems when using Graph explorer and Postman, but it gives an error of "Malformed ID" when called from this connector from power automate.

Has anyone faced this issue?

Re: Malformed ID error in office 365 Groups Connector

When using the 'Send an HTTP request' action API from the Office 365 Groups connector in Power Automate, you are encountering an error stating "Malformed ID" when calling the Graph API.
This error typically indicates an issue with the format or value of the {mailfolder_id} parameter. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
Verify the placeholder: Make sure that the {mailfolder_id} placeholder is correctly formatted and matches the expected format of the mail folder ID. Double-check the documentation for the specific API you are using to ensure you are using the correct placeholder format.
Use a static ID: Instead of using a placeholder, try using a static ID for the mail folder in your API call. Replace {mailfolder_id} with an actual ID of the mail folder you want to access.
Check authentication and permissions: Ensure that the authentication and permissions associated with the connector in Power Automate are set up correctly and have the necessary permissions to access the mail folders.
Test with different connectors: If the issue persists, consider testing the API call with different connectors in Power Automate to isolate the problem. You can try using other connectors that support making HTTP requests or consult with the Microsoft support team for further assistance.
Remember to review the documentation and guidelines provided by Microsoft for the specific API and connector you are using. Additionally, debugging and troubleshooting the error message can provide more insights into the exact cause of the "Malformed ID" issue.
