Having issue to find the manager

Hi

I had created a flow which is working find. The trigger of the flow is When an item is created. In the flow I am using the Get manager option

Now I need to change this flow so it will be manually triggered. Therefor I have added a button in the MS List where the user can click when he has made all entries. 

When I now click on the flow the flow fails at the state where it should get the manager

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    I guess this is because the user who uses the flow has no manager so it reported an error.

    Please check If the user has an manager in Azure Ad.

    @v-xiaochen-msft thanks for your feedback but this can't be the root cause. When I run the flow automatically (when a item is created) it works well and the manger is found. I guess this is related that I now try to run the flow by a click and the flow is not aware where to look for. I think my flow is just wrong. I will met a colleague who is trained in PA to check whats wrong
