Unable to pass a custom value for Document library Excel Online (Business) Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Flow fails when passing the same value as a custom value. This preventing me from using a variable in place of the drop down.

    @addepallimadhuwe cant simply provide the library and filename as their actual names, we need to fetch the drive id and file id and use it in the Create Worksheet action, please check this post https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Get-drive-id-for-Doc-Library-selection/td-p/856534 the steps are mentioned how to get drive id and file id to use in Create Worksheet action.

    Thanks @annajhaveri  . It appears use of _api/v2.0/drives and _api/v2.0/drive is restricted in our environment. Getting an "Unexpected reponse" error. Is there any other way to get drive id?
