Flow Not Pulling In New Outlook Groups (Cannot Find Group IDs either)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm having issues with getting my Flow to pull groups from Outlook into a given action. In my specific use case, the actions are:

  • List Group Members
  • Add Member to Group
  • Remove Member from Group

The error message I receive is: "Invalid object identifier 'Outlook Group Name'"

 

The issue appeared after I exceeded 100 Outlook groups. I have read elsewhere that a possible workaround is to enter the group ID but all attempts to determine the group IDs (that long garbled string of characters) based on other posts haven't worked and I am only able to find the group name with no spaces (ie "Outlook Group Name" = "outlook-group-name") and this does not yield success either.

 

Any and all suggestions or solutions are appreciated.

 

Thank you!

    I tried that and no additional groups appear in the drop down, nor does the group name auto-populate when I type it in. Typing it out fully as a custom value still returns the same "Invalid object identifier" error.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    How about try to open the Pagination to set the Threshold as 200, for example:

    Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, removing the spaces from the Outlook Group name and entering the group name as a custom value did not succeed.

     

    Per your suggestion, I've attached a screen grab of the flow I'm working with. Please forgive the big black blocks as I cannot share the names of the Outlook Groups themselves as they are for work, but I hope this can give a better sense of my issue.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Have you tried Camel-Case? Like "Outlook Group Name" = "OutlookGroupName", without any special character.

    It will better if you can share how you configure it.
