Issue with the Get manager (V2) action

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Igor_M

I don't seem to be able to get the Get manager (V2) action to work - it fails if there is no manager set up for a user (UPN) throwing error: Action 'Get_manager_(V2)' failed and the outcomes log shows:

"Request_ResourceNotFound","message":"Resource 'manager' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present.","innerError"

I tried to follow the process described in this article where there are two branches going out from the Get manager (V2) action, one for 'is successful' and the other one for all other outcomes, however I am still getting the above error.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Igor_M ,

Please add an action after the apply to each loop.

Best Regards,

Hi @v-xiaochen-msft

thanks for a prompt reply however I don't think your solution solves my issue. After adding an action after the apply to each loop, in which Get manager is triggered, the flow ends after having processed only a few user UPNs. So in my instance I have nearly 400 UPNs and the flow ends after only processing c. 10 user UPNs whereas I would like it to retrieve data for all 400 users and return a manager only for those who have a manager set up in the system.

Also, not sure if it is clear from the screenshots I sent previously, but the right hand branch after Get manager (V2) (No manager present) is set to run after failure of Get manager - it assigns the varManager variable a null value.

Hi @Nived_Nambiar, could you please explain why did you decide to place "Get manager" action into scope?

@VictorIvanidze

I am still learning things in power automate, through this post i have came to know about configure run after option, while searching regarding the issue on how to check manager as boolen variable using get manager action, via that i came across a post which demonstrates the usage of configure run after option where they has used scope for that.

Using that, I learned the usage of scope and then utilize it here to solve the issue.

But in real, we may not need the scope for Get Manager action as scope is used to group actions or conditions 🙂 for single action it is not needed.

Hi @Igor_M,
use this:
if(empty(outputs('Get_manager_(V2)')?['body/id']),null,outputs('Get_manager_(V2)')?['body/id'])
