Office365Group: Add / Remove Members (The data returned in the reponse is invalid)

[MrNguyen]

Good morning!

I have an O365 group that I want to add and remove members to. The initial call action per request is successful but returns an invalid response which prevents me from adding / removing additional members.  The questions are,
"How do I avoid returning an invalid response?"
"How do I handle formula reponse errors?"

The steps I took to receive the error includes:

1. OnSelect property of a button with groupID and UPN (no issues):

2. After clicking button, user has been successfully added to the group. Button object fails and returns invalid response:

3. Attempt to remove the added user to the group using groupID and UPN:

4. After clicking the button, the removal of the member is successful.  Button object returns a failed response:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi @MrNguyen ,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test, and the issue is confirmed on my side. Even though, the Office365Groups.AddMemberToGroup(...) formula add a user to a specific group successfully, it would still show up the "The data returned in the response is invalid" error.

Based on this issue, I think it is related to Office 365 service API. I would post this issue to my product team, if this issue is solved, I would reply here.

As an alternative solution, I think the AzureAD connector could achieve your needs. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a Dropdown (Dropdown1) in your app, set the Items property to following:

Office365Groups.ListOwnedGroups().value

Add two buttons in your app -- "Add User To Group" & "Remove User From Group". Set the OnSelect property of the "Add User To Group" button to following:

AzureAD.AddUserToGroup(Dropdown1.Selected.id, AzureAD.GetUser("Test2@Wicren.onmicrosoft.com").id)

on your side, you may type:

AzureAD.AddUserToGroup(Dropdown1.Selected.id, AzureAD.GetUser(_UserPrincipalName).id)

Set the OnSelect property of the "Remove User From Group" button to following:

AzureAD.RemoveMemberFromGroup(Dropdown1.Selected.id, AzureAD.GetUser("Test2@Wicren.onmicrosoft.com").id)

On your side, you may type:

AzureAD.RemoveMemberFromGroup(Dropdown1.Selected.id, AzureAD.GetUser(_UserPrincipalName).id)

Please consider take a try with above alternative solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
