Update People Column via Send an HTTP request to SharePoint

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I am kind of stuck, trying to update a Sharepoint List People Column, via the activity 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' from my Cloud Flow. 

This is a snippet from my POST body:

MakerTeamsAuto is the column name of my People column.

The odd thing here is that the POST request works - it does put data in the list, but the people column is empty:

What am I doing wrong? 

Hope anyone can help me :.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

You could use the validateUpdateListItem method for this. 

Below is an example of that approach.

{
    "formValues":[
	{
	    "FieldName": "MakerTeamsAuto",
	    "FieldValue": "[{'Key':'i:0#.f|membership|jane@contoso.onmicrosoft.com'}]"
	}
    ]
}
