    Hi,The issue is that the email action is receiving null in the To field, so Power Automate is not getting an email address from the SharePoint column.

    From the JSON, this is the key part:

    "emailMessage/To": null

    If Recipients Email is a SharePoint Person column, make sure you are not using the main field value. You need to use the email property from that field, usually something like Recipients Email Email.

    If the field allows multiple people, Power Automate treats it as an array, so you need to convert the selected people into one email string before the email action. A simple way is to use a Select action to pull out each person’s email address, then use this in the To field:

    join(body('Select'), ';')

    That should give the email action something like:

    user1@company.com;user2@company.com

    Also worth checking that the SharePoint item definitely has someone selected in that field before the email step runs. If the field is blank on the item, Power Automate will still pass null.

    It means the Person/Email column value in your SharePoint list is currently empty, so Power Automate is not receiving any email address. 

    For debugging, you can also add a Compose action before Send Email and pass the Person column value to verify what is actually coming from SharePoint.
     
    Just populate the Person field in the SharePoint item and resubmit the flow — it should work as expected. Currently the error is happening because the Person/Email field value is blank.
     
    Error: 
    emailMessage/To is null
