Hi Urgently need help,

I'm following this guide https://www.sharepointwidgets.com/2020/07/rename-folder-using-microsoft-flow.html to update my text values for a folder within sharepoint.

_______________________________________

Example:

Site Address: <Address to your site>

Method: "POST"

Uri: "_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Shared Documents/FolderName')/ListItemAllFields"

Headers:

If-Match: *
X-HTTP-Method: MERGE
Accept: application/json;odata=nometadata

Body:{
    "Title": "NEW FOLDER NAME",
    "FileLeafRef": "NEW FOLDER NAME",
    "ProjectDescription": "testing"}

___________________________________________

This will update the folder name as well as the ProjectDescription column value for that folder.

I need help with updating the EmailPC column value where EmailPC is a person or group. I have tried to add EmailPC : "test@outllok.com" although this doesnt work and I get an error.

Does anyone know how to update with an email for this field?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
