Intermittent errors running an approval flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a flow that runs correctly the majority of the time. But I do get a report of errors and I am wondering why it fails seemingly randomly It is fairly vanilla. 

But I get: 

"The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidRequestContent'. Error Message: 'The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Required property 'assignedTo' expects a value but got null. Path '', line 1, position 999.'.'."

 

Every once in a while. Which is strange. It is based off the template:  When an item is created in SharePoint List, send approval and create item. 

 

I am not sure what to add to the post for more info. It is really very simple.  It looks like someone left a required property blank "null" according to the error but if it is required, how could that be?

    Where are you getting the email for the approver from?  That is the value that is coming in as null.
