Approval workflow using site permission groups as approvers but getting error

[Wildtypitch]

Following this tutorial and I'm stumbling at this error

https://www.intelogy.co.uk/blog/assigning-microsoft-flow-approvals-to-sharepoint-groups/

Using HTTP request to sharepoint action

putting this into the Uri field

/_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname(‘Project Managers’)/users

returns this error

"The expression \"web/sitegroups/getbyname(‘Project Managers’)/users\" is not valid.

Where Project Managers is an existing site group 

Any pointers?

@Wildtypitch  the Uri looks correct, can you type in the quotes around project manager by yourself if you have copy pasted the Uri in the flow.

[Wildtypitch]

I've tried quotes and no quotes with no success

[annajhaveri]

@Wildtypitch  the quotes need to there, i tried the same Uri, as i copy pasted the same Uri which you used, i got the same error that you are getting, then i typed in the 'Project Managers' again (without) which fixed the error.

Can you share the screenshot of the action that you configure in the flow?

Thanks for looking into it. I tried changing to a name without space underscore etc to no avail.

@Wildtypitch  from screenshot it looks like issue is with quotes, please type in 'Project Managers' by yourself, and use single quotes.

[Wildtypitch]

I'm afraid that's not the issue here. It was originally typed in by myself. Those are single quotes. But I retried it but still nothing. Are we sure the url is correct otherwise?

[Wildtypitch]

Here's the screen showing the different single quotes, (no idea why they appeared differently

[annajhaveri · Accepted solution]

@Wildtypitch  the quotes looks good now, but you have missed the parenthesis are missing now it should be 

/_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname(‘Project Managers’)/users

Please put parenthesis around ('Project Managers')

Yay Thanks for your patience! Frustrating!
