Help Needed: Invoke HTTP Request - "Not a JSON Format" Error in Flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 29

Hi everyone,

I need some assistance with an issue I'm facing in my flow. I'm working on a flow to retrieve an SSRS report from Dynamics 365 Field Service and email it through the Field Service. Initially, the flow was functioning well. The only error I encountered was with the Invoke HTTP action while downloading the PDF. To resolve this, I used a "Do Until" action to keep it in check, which worked after 1 or 2 runs.

However, suddenly, the first Invoke HTTP action, which was previously working fine, broke. Despite trying multiple times and even creating a new flow, I can't seem to get it to work again. The error message I'm receiving states that the response is not in JSON format.

Here are some additional details:

  • The flow was originally working without issues.
  • The error appears to be related to the first Invoke HTTP request.
  • I used the "Do Until" action to handle the previous errors, but this approach doesn't seem to work for this new issue.
  • I've attempted to create a new flow from scratch, but the problem persists.

If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any advice on how to resolve this, I would greatly appreciate your help!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    What you provided isn't enough info to troubleshoot the error.
     
    Please provide info on which action failed, and the input / output from that action and previous action where the action that failed has dynamic content depended on it.

    @nsl coder  The Flow failed on the Invoke Http request.
     
    It is giving error.
    Note: It was working fine earlier suddenly it stopped working.

    Have you simply use do while loop to try a few times?
     
    your screenshot shows you retry once only
