Getting a "Invalid type. Expected String but got Null." 
I need to get the url, the exact same parameter that fails. ðŸ˜ª

 

I cant figure out why, 
Its just a simple MS graph query. It does work for other queries, but this one fails somehow. 

 

Any help would be appreceated.

 


The body output from the query: 

{
  "value": [
    {
      "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.iosVppApp",
      "id": "598ac1bc-xxxxx",
      "displayName": "6000 Words xxxxx",
      "informationUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/no/app/xxxxx"
    },
    {
      "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.iosVppApp",
      "id": "c06003e4-XXXXX",
      "displayName": "6000 Words -XXXXX",
      "informationUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/no/app/XXXXXX"
    }
]
}


Here are the schema:

{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "@@odata.context": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "@@odata.count": {
            "type": "integer"
        },
        "value": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "@@odata.type": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "id": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "displayName": {
                        "type": "string"
                    },
                    "informationUrl": {
                        "type": "string"
                    }
                },
                "required": [
                    "@@odata.type",
                    "id",
                    "displayName",
                    "informationUrl"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

    Re: Invalid type. Expected String but got Null.

    It works fine when executing using those values in flow manually (though I had to replace the @ symbols in the output body with double @ symbols).

    At what point does it fail?
