Can't set Owner in Dyanmics CRM

[bjarvis]

I have created a flow that parses data from an email then creates a new Lead record in our Dynamics CRM.

The problem i'm having at the moment is that i can't seem to set the Owner from Flow.

I can see the 'Owner' and 'Owner Type' fields in flow but i'm not exactly sure what they're expecting? 

I'm looking to set the owner as a team called 'Sales'

I can set the Owner Type field in flow to 'team' but then the Owner field is just free-type? so if i just type the 'sales' team name it doesn't work?

Am i missing something? Is it expecting a team ID? If so where do i get that from?

Ok, all fixed... but for anybody in future that requires the answer to this.

The Owner field has to be set using the guid of the User or Team. 

The easiest way i found to get that is to have a CRM view of your Users/Teams and then export to Excel. The first column in this excel is the guid 🙂

Hi, thank you for the solution.

We are also trying to update the owner to a team based on the GUID but the flow is failing. Below is our solution, do you know what I should change?

Owner (Owners)

owners/0ffd5cd3-ff30-e811-a888-00224801a4ba

To set an Owner field to a Team, format it like this -   teams(<team>)

In this example, I'm setting Owner of a Case to a Team, and referencing the Team value from a related record
