Recent change "Create Sharing Link" now requires GUID for list

[Beerman212]

I've had a number of flows that broke recently due to what seems like a change to the platform that the action "Create Sharing Link" now requires GUID for the library.  In the interest of creating an easily transferrable workflow, I had set up some compose fields to scrape some information like the id of the document libraries that I'm using.

recently, I've had one workflow that has started failing, and near as I can tell, it's because the "Create Sharing Link" action now requires a guid for the Library that you're referencing instead of allowing me to pass dynamic content I.E. the library name.

Error:

"body": {
        "error": {
            "code": "invalidRequest",
            "message": "The list ID must be provided in Guid form."
        }
    }

This no longer works.  Is there a way to programatically get the guid for a doc library?

We've started facing the same issue, Can anyone please provide a solution to this issue? Not sure how to get a list ID in the GUID format and where can we find this GUID value.

We're experiencing the same issue which started on the 30th according to logs of failed Flows 

However if appears to be fixed now (?) as couple of runs this morning have worked.

Does anyone know (Microsoft?) if this was a newly introduced bug that has subsequently been removed or exactly what the situation is on this?

Thanks Derek

Hi @RFSDP , thanks for the update, it's started working for us as well not sure what has happened, however, we have raised a ticket with the Microsoft support team and they are investigating a root cause.

Well, if anyone is interested, there is a way to programatically get the GUID using the HTTP request action to sharepoint.

Here is what I did.

Hi @Beerman212 ,

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe you could try to consider marking your answer as a 'Solution' so that it will be useful for others and close the case.
