Alright so! Objective here is simple, I'm trying to do (using PA) what this person is doing in her video, I'll post the link below, but long story short is she is using GetQueue+PerformUnboundAction with a template to send email from a queue.

The problem I'm running into is that the "Recipients Item 1" seems to be erroring out. The error is as follows:

Error identified in Payload provided by the user for Entity :'', For more information on this error please follow this help link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2195293 ----> InnerException : Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Bad Request - Error in query syntax.

This makes me think that maybe the case itself has something going on or has the "Primary User" as an issue.

Captioned images below:

When I open up the cases table, I notice we have two "contact" records. one is contactid and one is primarycontactid

It looks like the case definitely has a primarycontactid/name

and the primary contactid has an email

 

So, if it's not obvious, I'm just trying to get this "performunboundaction" to send the email via the template.
