GUID error when sending HTTP request to Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello everyone, 

I have created a flow that creates a new column within a sharepoint list, but it is by default a hidden column. I am therefore sending another request to make it visible. However, I am getting a GUID error which I don't fully understand as the formatting seems correct to me. 


If someone could offer any assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Below are some photos of my flow and the error message.

    Hello @Anonymous ,

    I think using just /lists('...')/ expects the list guid as a parameter. If you want to use the list name, you should use /lists/getbytitle('listname')/.

    You can also avoid using the guid in the http request if you'd like.

    _api/web/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/views/getbytitle('ViewName')/viewfields/addviewfield('FieldName')

    Thank you very much @tom_riha. Didn't fully get the system of referring to it by GUID or name before. Was very helpful and works nicely now.
