Get manager failing ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 166

Hi, 

 

I have created a flow that sends out each week to managers of our business about who's birthday it is that week for their team. 

This is what it looks like:

DynamicsHS_2-1657779319869.png

DynamicsHS_3-1657779320982.png

 

I have added a get manager part and used the same append array feature to then get the managers email.

DynamicsHS_4-1657779533903.png

However, when I run the flow - it reads true but then doesn't work at the final compose? 

DynamicsHS_5-1657779661994.png

It says that "Resource 'manager' does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present"? 

 

When I take away the manager part of the flow and just get the employees full name and birthday from the append to compose the flow works fine. As soon as I add the features to get manager it doesnt work?

 

Regards,

Henry

    Hello @DynamicsHS ,

    please run the flow and share the "Get Manager" action output, so that we could better help you.

    Hi @DynamicsHS 

    can you try below snap?

    Get manager usually fails in scenarios where manager is not configured against a O365 user.

    setup :

    right side of var 4 : configure to  run after get manager has failed

    left side of var 3: configure to run on success of get manager

    condition : in condition you can check for null and proceed as needed.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @Shujaath_Khan , 

     

    I tried your steps:

    DynamicsHS_0-1657847004326.png

    The flow is grabbing the managers email which means it recognises that this is the employees managers email but it still fails? 

    Am i missing something on my end?

     

    Thanks,

    Henry

    Hi, please use scope the way I've implemented.

    And condition action would be configured to run after both success and failure of scope thanks

    Hey, right side of var should be configured on runafter failure believe.

    Only any one leg is to be executed either sucess or failure thanks

    Hi @Shujaath_Khan , 

     

    Apologies, as I may be missing something. But I am still confused as to why I cannot get the managers email in the compose and place it in a email?
