Create Event - attendees field: can't use a sharepoint list item type "Person or Group"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

A have a list on Sharepoint

There's column "Person", type "Person or Group" (single item only) in which user is stored.


I'm trying to create a calendar event (Create Event V2) using Flow and use that column in "Required attendees" as "Person Email".

The flow isn't working and returning me an error:

 

"One or more recipients are invalid. clientRequestId: id serviceRequestId: id"

 

due to the fact that user seems to be incorrect (according to logs):

INPUTS
...

Required attendees
i:0#.f|membership|user.name@domain.ltd;


Could you please help me to fix the issue?

Thanks.

    I'm attempting to use the same thing, but it is only appending the 1st email address of the 1st perosn included in the multiple select field. Any ideas?

    I just ran a quick test using a person or group column that does not allow multiple selections and the Flow ran without error:

    If the person or group column allows for multiple selections, the Flow above will error out.  To fix, configure your Flow in a manner similar to below.  I am looping through each of the email addresses and appending them to a string variable.  Please note the semicolon I include after the email address.  I then reference the variable rather than the column when specifying required attendees.
