Get User Profile (v2) - User Not Found/ResourceNotFound error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

I am really hoping someone can help as I am trying to get the PowerAutomate to work before the SharePoint 2010 workflow stop working on 11/1. TIA!!

 

I am working on a PO Approval process and the form is created using Infopath 2013. The approver is dynamic and users use the people picker to select the approver.

The form is saved as XML and it is saved in SharePoint as XML forms library (looks very similar to SharePoint List). Approver is saved as single line text. I created a new column named ApproverEmail to try to capture the email address using PowerAutomate. 

 

I setup a quick Flow to update the ApproverEmail column:

When an item is created -> XML forms library

Get User Profile (v2) -> Approver

Update item -> Approver Email: Mail

When I run the flow, I kept getting the "ResourceNotFound" and "User not Found" error.

I have tried with several approvers and got the same error. I confirmed they are all licensed users in the O365 tenant. Any help would be appreciated!!

    Hi @WinnieThePig ,

     

    Does the deptApprover column is a Person type column?

    If yes, please choose the deptApprover Value dynamic content from the trigger in the Get user profile action.

    Hi @v-alzhan-msft ,

     

    Thank you for the response. The deptApprover column is saved as "single line of text" and I can't change it to "Person/group" because that option isn't available.

    I resolved the issue by creating a new "Person/Group" column and use PowerAutomate to copy the plain text column and it works. Closing issue.
