When I try to get a Message from the message center using an HTTP Get with the following uri "https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages?$filter=MessageType eq 'Message Center'"

I get an error message to "Enter a valid URI".

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @DLGross,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

The error message told that there is something wrong with the uri that you provided. The $filter query option is not supported in Get Messages function of Office 365 Service Communications API.

Please modify your URL within your HTTP action as below:

https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages?MessageType='Message Center'

Then try your flow again to check if the issue is solved on your side.

More details about the Get Message function of the Office 365 Service Communications API, please check the following article:

Get Message function

Please check and see if the following article would help in your scenario:

Best regards,

Kris

@v-xida-msftthanks for the suggestion, but removing the $filter does not eliminate the error. I was already using those same articles that you provided links to but I'm not seeing anything that states $filter is not supported. Below is the revised flow

I have run some more tests and this uri runs, https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages?MessageType=MessageCenter but the results are not filtered by the Message Type. I am getting all of the messages, (Incidents, and MessageCenter.

Per the recommendations of @Paul Shaflein, https://www.schaeflein.net/filter-using-enum-values-in-odata-v4/ I have tried https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages?MessageType=Microsoft.Office365ServiceComms.ExposedContracts.MessageType'MessageCenter' and I get the same results, i.e, the filter does not remove the Incidents.

I have also tried to filter using the Workload and that does not remove any messages. There appears to be a bug in either how Flow works with the O365 Service api, or with that API

Hi Dean,

How about this:

https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages?$filter=MessageType eq Microsoft.Office365ServiceComms.ExposedContracts.MessageType'MessageCenter'

I am seeing the filtering work properly both hitting the API directly, and using a custom connector in Flow.

Thanks,

Sean

Alternative solution, you could do:

GET:"https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/tenant-id/ServiceComms/Messages
Filter array:
From: body('Get_Messages')
item()?['MessageType'] is equal to 'Message Center'
