Posted on by mip09

I was asked to do an automation at power automate every time we receive an email with a specific subject. My aim is to create an automation that every time we receive that email, it automatically schedule an "event" in a shared calendar. I did "When a new email arrices (V3) + Get email (V2) + Create Event (V4)" however when I proceed to run a test flow, on the part of "Get Email (V2)" it says "Id is malformed.
clientRequestId: 1262f3da-ca77-48ac-b88a-eae99ef08e05
serviceRequestId: 1a0dbef5-b04f-4861-85d3-b2b0145cc3cf"

what should I do?

Hi @mip09

It's better if you can share your flow screenshot with expanded and some information on the values passed, will be great, Ofcourse sensitive information can be removed

Hi @mip09

In the Get email (V2) it is the only message ID to pass, can you try to remove the subject and check?

When I delete the "subject" and only leave the "Message Id" this appears: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Hi @mip09 !

As seen from the "Create event (V4)" action, you have specified the Start time and End time to be of 'Body' which is not of the correct datetime format. It follows the ISO 8601 compliant.

Example:
2023-10-31T10:41:53
I hope this helps.

Hi @mip09

Can you tell at what step this was error out, because you are passing directly body to the events action, you need to check what body you are passing. So Start Time and End Time need to have the date and time exactly every thing else will be get this type of issue

As I wanted to grab the information of date and time that is directly in the body of the email I thought that was all I needed to do.

I will try to change it

Hi @mip09

Direct passing body will not help, so you need to split your body and extract only the dates that are required

Below is a sample post for your reference

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Extracting-date-from-email-body/td-p/2311504

As above according your body you need build the expressions to extract the start and end dates

If you can share your body we can try to help
