Delete a To-Do Task

Posted on by calebjamesross

Hello!

If anyone can help me find a solution, I would greatly appreciate it!

The issue I am having is getting Power Automate to delete the to-do if the Status Value (the field is a choice) changes to one of the three listed under Condition 2.

I've tried both using the ID option for To-Do task and copied the exact title formatting from when Power Automate creates the to-do. (See screenshots below):

This is the error I keep getting for both options:
{
"statusCode": 400,
"headers": {
"Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
"Vary": "Accept-Encoding",
"Strict-Transport-Security": "max-age=31536000",
"request-id": "80f95a8f-16b4-47fa-9607-5591533aebce",
"client-request-id": "80f95a8f-16b4-47fa-9607-5591533aebce",
"x-ms-ags-diagnostic": "{\"ServerInfo\":{\"DataCenter\":\"West US\",\"Slice\":\"E\",\"Ring\":\"4\",\"ScaleUnit\":\"000\",\"RoleInstance\":\"BY1PEPF00002046\"}}",
"Timing-Allow-Origin": "*",
"x-ms-apihub-cached-response": "false",
"x-ms-apihub-obo": "true",
"Connection": "close",
"Date": "Fri, 29 Jul 2022 19:12:30 GMT",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Content-Length": "325"
},
"body": {
"error": {
"code": "invalidRequest",
"message": "Invalid request",
"innerError": {
"code": "ErrorInvalidIdMalformed",
"date": "2022-07-29T19:12:30",
"request-id": "80f95a8f-16b4-47fa-9607-5591533aebce",
"client-request-id": "80f95a8f-16b4-47fa-9607-5591533aebce"
}
}
}
}

How can I correctly reference this so that it delete's the to-do item like I wish?

Thank you for your help!

Re: Delete a To-Do Task

Based on your screen shot, you are using the ID of the SharePoint item to delete the To Do item. You need to use the ID of the To Do item instead. Your action will look like this when properly configured:
If you are saving the ID of the To Do item in your SharePoint list, you can use that instead, but the ID of the SharePoint item is not the same ID as the To Do item.

Re: Delete a To-Do Task

Okay, so I added a "Get a to-do list" to be able to add in the To-Do ID (see below):

However, I am still getting an error:

"statusCode": 404,
"headers": {
"Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
"Vary": "Accept-Encoding",
"Strict-Transport-Security": "max-age=31536000",
"request-id": "cfd00c4b-aec6-4788-924f-a0f69791f1d2",
"client-request-id": "cfd00c4b-aec6-4788-924f-a0f69791f1d2",
"x-ms-ags-diagnostic": "{\"ServerInfo\":{\"DataCenter\":\"West US\",\"Slice\":\"E\",\"Ring\":\"4\",\"ScaleUnit\":\"002\",\"RoleInstance\":\"BY3PEPF00015C03\"}}",

"x-ms-apihub-obo": "true",

"Content-Length": "321"
},
"body": {
"error": {
"code": "ErrorItemNotFound",
"message": "Item not found",
"innerError": {
"code": "ErrorItemNotFound",
"date": "2022-08-01T03:52:15",
"request-id": "cfd00c4b-aec6-4788-924f-a0f69791f1d2",
"client-request-id": "cfd00c4b-aec6-4788-924f-a0f69791f1d2"
}
}
}
}

I appreciate your help, any other suggestions? The To-Do that was originally created by this flow is still in my list. I am now just having issues with it deleting the To-Do when I change the status to "Scheduled, Done, Referred Out."

Thank you in advance!

Re: Delete a To-Do Task

Hi @calebjamesross ,

'Get a to-do list (V2)' action gets list's ID but in your case you need a task ID from a list.

Obviously, list ID and task ID are not the same thing.

You could try 'Get a to-do (V3)' action to get a specific task ID.

If you want to get all tasks' ID, you could try 'List to-do's by folder (V2)' action.

Best Regards,
