Issue while adding attendees to a planner through a flow with calendar

[Mario27]

Hi Everyone,

I have an issue while trying to add attendees to a planner task using a flow with calendar.

The flow is activated when a meeting is created on calendar of office 365, the action is create a planner task (in a previous bucket already created), then after all attendees accept the meeting, I receive this message on flow notifications: "Schema validation has failed. Validation for field 'Assignments', on entity 'Task' has failed: The assignee id is invalid.". I think that the issue is because of the way Flow try to add the attendees to Planner, by adding them as a normal "email string" (user1@domain.com;user2@domain.com; ), and Planner doesn’t recognize this format, ¿I am wrong?, or ¿I'm missing something?

The output of the failure message show this:

Status code: 400

Body:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "",
    "message": "Schema validation has failed. Validation for field 'Assignments', on entity 'Task' has failed: The assignee id is invalid.",
    "innerError": {
      "request-id": "f3c53084-3262-4e8a-9c19-2a7bf6e0a3a0",
      "date": "2018-03-12T09:52:45"
    }
  }
}

Thanks in advance,

Hey @manuelstgomes,

I am having the issue as well, my flow is pretty simple. It is basically when a new file is created in our documents, a new task is added to the planner.

{
"error": {
"code": "",
"message": "Schema validation has failed. Validation for field 'Assignments', on entity 'Task' has failed: The assignee id is invalid.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "b237eaa5-94de-449c-83ea-39b330efe60a",
"date": "2020-01-28T13:56:06"
}
}
}

It would not let me add the picture of the flow to my reply so here it is

Hi @Anonymous and @Mario27 

Instead of the "Display Name" use the "Email" field. That's the user's ID and that's why it's complaining that the "Assignee id" is not valid.

Hey @manuelstgomes ,

That worked, Thanks a lot!!

I was wondering if there is a way to trigger this flow only when a document set is created

Thanks, Jay

Hi @Anonymous  and @Mario27 

Glad it works. 🙂

Regarding @Anonymous the Document Set isn't part of the metadata, sorry :(.
