Issue With 'Get Manager' Step in workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

Hi All,

 

I'm building a flow for our new leave request power app and run into an error with the get manager step the error is below. 

 

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Get_manager_(V2)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The resolved string values for the following parameters are invalid, they may not be null or empty: 'id'

 

the staff member has a manger assigned, what else could this be? attached is a screenshot of the flow and the steps prior to the get manager step.

    Are you able to post a screenshot of your flow output?

    It looks like your Get item action is returning a null value 

    Ensure the input to your Get_manager_(V2) action is properly formatted.

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for you response! i managed to fix the get manager step, however now I have an issues with the final approval steps. see below the steps after the manager has approved/rejected a leave request

    What is the datatype of the Item field?

    Could you add that JSON text in a compose message above the update action and see if it resolves to be a proper JSON?

    All fixed! i pointed the list directly to the sharepoint URL rather than the item variable in all steps and that has resolved it. thank you @SudeepGhatakNZ!
