Hi Flow Experts,

I have a flow that will be trigger on "Create of New item in SharePoint  List"

Error - The API 'sharepointonline' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'When_an_item_is_created' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'GetOnNewItems' is missing required property 'body/value/0/Title'.'

    Hello,

     

    It looks like you created the flow from the template. As a workaround, please try creating it from blank and verify if you get the same error message.

     

    I have seen some similar scenarios, wherein sometimes the pre-defined templates does not render as expected.

    Hi

     

    I have the same problem:

     

    The API 'sharepointonline' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'When_a_file_is_created_(properties_only)' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'GetOnNewFileItems' is missing required property 'body/value/0/Description'.'

     

    This is created from a blank template. Description is not a require field.

     

    The workflow initially worked now it fails at the very start.

    Hi

     

    I found that deleting the initial trigger - When a file is created (properties) and then recreating it worked.

    I then had to update all the variable in the rest of the flow  - a bit of a pain. 

    I believe this a bug. 

    Hopefully this works for you and Microsoft can look into this problem.

    I'm having the same issue and tried deleting the flow and creating it again from template/blank but its the same result everytime. Anyone managed to fix this?

     

    I'm trying to copy sharepoint on prem list item data when a record is entered to sharepoint online list. The workflow fails and doesnt start though it used to be working before. any thoughts on this?

    I have seen this error when the list items title value is blank or null. When setting a value, the error goes away.

    This is exactly what happens to me. 

     

    I was trying to update a SP list.  But, the SP List happens to have some blank entries on the Title column.  As we know, each SP List has a Title Column, and it can be renamed.  

     

    Exactly like @mtiscia said, putting some values to this field make this error goes away.

    I found that if you change column format in your list after you already created a flow, it can cause this. To solve I had to delete the action from the flow and put back in again.
