Writing to a SP List URL Field - REST API

I'm getting an error when trying to write to a SharePoint List URL field using REST API. Please see below:

{"__metadata": {
 type: "SP.Data.TESTINGTeamsSiteCreationListItem"
 },
 "TeamsLink": {
 "Url":"@{variables('URL')}",
 "Description": "MS Teams"
 }
}

Error:

All the documentation/guides I've seen seem to indicate that what I've done is correct, but I'm still hitting this issue.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi @EdwardHodson,

In your headers you specified that you won't be using metadata. However, in the body you included the metadata property.

Can you try and use application/json;odata=verbose in the accept and content-type headers instead. This way you don't have to change the body value

Oh and it is worth checking if you used the correct type value in the json of the body. You can lookup this value via the listitementitytypefullname property.

I have written an article about this approach: https://www.expiscornovus.com/2021/07/10/listitementitytypefullname-within-power-automate/

HI @Expiscornovus - That's done it! Thanks for spotting my mistake. Also, thank you very much for the link to your article. I've added the "ListItemEntityTypeFullName" step in my flow.

Thank you!
