I'm using the Get user profile connector to show when an email address is valid. When it is NOT valid, the input JSON looks like this:

{
 "host": {
 "connectionReferenceName": "shared_office365users",
 "operationId": "UserProfile_V2"
 },
 "parameters": {
 "id": "xxxxx@badaddress.edu",
 "$select": "userPrincipalName"
 }
}

I put this expression into the connector:

inputs('getProfile')?['parameters']?['id']

But it gives this error:

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Append_to_array_variable_2' inputs at line '1' and column '32249': 'The template function 'inputs' is not defined or not valid.'.

Here's a screencap of the editor:

Please help. I need to append the bad emails into the array badAddresses.

Thanks,

Anne

The actions function will be able to get the bad email address:
The above expression is:
actions('Get_user_profile')?['inputs/parameters/id']
For your flow it will be:
actions('getProfile')?['inputs/parameters/id']

This is the output from the above flow:
