power automate flow keeps failing for round robin email forwarding

HI, 

 

I'm following a tutorial posted online for round robin assignment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs0Wd2W2qrI)

and it keeps failing! Any ideas?

 

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Counter_Initialize' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'int' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be converted to the target type.'.

    @mbeans Are you able to show what you have for your Counter initialize? It looks like you're trying to assign a value that's not of type int.

    thanks @grantjenkins !  The code view is :

     

    {
        "inputs": {
            "variables": [
                {
                    "name""CurrentCounter",
                    "type""integer",
                    "value""@int(body('GetCounter')?['Value'])"
                }
            ]
        },
        "metadata": {
            "operationMetadataId""3797f562-cfaf-40c8-b2e6-cf3f7d03027a"
        }
    }
    and this is the list:

    I figured it out! The output from my "get list" didn't update when I changed the values on the actual list. So i had to look the outputs from my "get list" function and saw the even though my list was named "value" the flow was running the old colum name so I had to change the expression from  "value""@int(body('GetCounter')?['Value'])" to  "value": "@int(body('GetCounter')?['OLDCOLUMNNAMETHATIS NOW VALUE'])"
