Hi all,

 

I want to automate the onbarding-process of my company via forms, power automate and a sharepoint list. 

As a template I used the "create entra User via sharepoint list". 

 

Now I´m getting the follwoing error-message when trying to test the flow: Invalid value specified for property 'mailNickname' of resource 'User'.

 

I have done some research so far and found a post which was marked as "solved" but even though following the steps in said post, it doesnt work. 

 

appartently it has something to do with the mail nickname, but i have paid close attention to not include special letters or signs. Only the "@" sign, which i need to use in order to create the email adress correctly.

 

thanks in advance

    @JacobGoette I believe you need to omit the @ symbol in the Mail Nickname field.

    This test run ran successfully.
