I already have a flow setup but I can't seem to make the HTTP request function to send an email work.
These are the actions I have right now:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help 😥
Would you please show the outputs of Next Act... and stringDaysOut?
Did you get this error when you tried running it with the HTTP request to SharePoint to send email? If not, what else changed?
So I followed what you said and just used the Outlook Send Email action. However, now I'm getting this error on the Email action:
Also, this action automatically added itself when I selected the 'person' field email from the dynamic contents list:
BTW, the field on the SharePoint List allows multiple selection. Could this be the reason?
Okay, that's a different problem. If you don't want the approval to appear to come from your account, you have to use the "Add new connection" function found on the three horizontal tods in the lower right corner. You must have another account available to connect the action to. This is typically a "service account."
You will have to get a service account (or work with someone who managed a service account).
Share the ownership of the Flow with the service account.
Log in under the service account (or get the account owner to do it) and go to the approval step and add the service account connection to that action.
If this helped, please mark it as a solution.

Initially, that is what I did. However, it is sending the email reminder from my account.
The main error I'm getting is on the part where it's extracting the e-mail address from the SharePoint list. The type of field it's coming from is a 'person ' from our org's directory.
Suggest you use one of the Outlook connectors for sending mail instead. You would address the mail to the variable stringEmailTo.
If this helped, please mark it as a solution.
