Teams - Create a chat - Bad Request 400 error

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in the process of setting up a ticket based technical support system.
I'd like to create a group chat with the user who submitted the ticket & the operator who was assigned the ticket.

I'm inputting the emails of the user & operator but am receiving a Bad Request 400 error

    "code""BadRequest",
    "message""Invalid OData type specified: \"Microsoft.Teams.GraphSvc.aadUserConversationMember\"",


I've tried using the user ID, emails, manually typing the emails etc.
email format: firstname.lastname@domain.com.au
user ID: obtained through search for users V2

The user, operator & flow connector are all on the same domain so should be able to initiate the chat - I've tried through other flow connector/accounts and having the same issues.

I'd love for this to be a silly mistake and a simple fix! x)

Edit: Someone from my team believes it may be a bug with the 'Create a chat' feature.
Specifically, because it uses the aadConversationMember class requires aadUser or something similar to add the Teams account to the chat. Because it's a new 'conversation' there's currently no conversation members. I've added the 'peak code' below

{
    "inputs": {
        "host": {
            "connectionName""shared_teams",
            "operationId""CreateChat",
            "apiId""/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_teams"
        },
        "parameters": {
            "item/members""@{outputs(insert-operator-email-here};@{outputs(insert-user-email-here}"
        },
        "authentication""@parameters('$authentication')"
    }
}

    Hi @Nyko,

     

    I have also seen this error with this new preview Create a Chat action. I have actually created an issue on GitHub for this:

    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/BusinessApplicationPlatform-Connectors-public/issues/375

     

    I will keep you posted on the progress.

    Hi @Nyko@JonBerkowitz & @Anonymous,

     

    In my dev environment it works again. I am unable to reproduce the issue anymore. Looks like it is fixed.

    That's great, but for some reason it still doesn't work for me. The "create a chat" still crash my flow
    But i got a different error now so i guess it may be fixable now, this is what i got:

     

    "code": "BadRequest",
    "message": "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation., Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.",

    Hi Jay - it's working for me now.
    I initially got the same error, but it was because the connection/account I was using to action the 'Create a chat' was from a different domain/organisation. Once I switched to a connection on the same domain it worked.

    Thanks to everyone that replied & for the Microsoft Fairy's for fixing the issue 🙂

    I have same problem... no matter how much I simplified setup of connector again I have same message. 

    Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation., Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

    I found a way to fix my problem, i am using a variable to select wich person will be added to the group, i tested by manually inserting them in the field "members to add" and it worked, but when i use a custom variable in that field, i get the invocation exception...
