Power Automate MS Graph and distribution lists

[pema123]

Hi,

I really hope someone can explain this to me. I've created a flow in Power Automate for sending an HTTP request to MSGraph for adding a user to a distribution list (oh yes it finally works). But in my flow I get an error saying you can't add user to mail enabled groups or distribution lists.

Power Automate

If I copy the URI and body from my Power Automate flow to Microsoft graph explorer (https://aka.ms/ge) it works like a charm.

Why do I get this behavior from Power Automate even when I choose to run an HTTP request?

Ok, the uri and body does not show in my Power Automate image but i made a copy/paste so it is the same data.

Thanks,

Peter

Just to be clear the below json is what i send to MS Graph.

The solution will be to create an Azure Automation job in powershell to add user to distribution group.
