How to fix the following error?

Posted on by 17

Hi All,

I am currently getting an error while executing a flow.

The error is in one column particular. The excel sheet has a column that contains the hyperlink. These hyperlink needs to be copied to sharepoint list. But the flow is throwing the following error:

 

OpenApiOperationParameterTypeConversionFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_item_2' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/Link' is required to be of type 'String/uri'. The runtime value '"BPIA-00018 "' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/uri'.

 

The sharepoint column type is string with rich text (hyperlink) enabled. I have also tried the column type as hyperlink.

    @suelahmed  Pls use one compose action and pass your Excel column which has link. Share output of compose action.

    Hi @suelahmed 

     

    Just to complement @Hardesh15 good reply, notice that the value that is being provided in the "Update Item" step is "BPIA-00018" and that's not an URL. That's the error that you're getting. Please check if that column you have this value where an URL should be.

     

    If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.
    If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up.

    Cheers

    @suelahmed As excel connector does not return hyperlink attached with text. You need to create one more column in excel sheet and add Text hyperlink in that column then you can use it.
