Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

Today new issue and solution 🙂

Details / Background

• In one of our Power Automate we were using action – “Send an HTTP request to SharePoint“. We have very good article on calling SharePoint REST API from Power Automate – https://knowledge-junction.in/2022/07/12/power-platform-power-automate-calling-sharepoint-rest-api/
• Using the action “Send an HTTP request to SharePoint” we are trying to add user to respective group
• And our action details looks like

• But on execution of flow / testing of flow we were getting the error
• Flow was failing

Issue / Error

An entry without a type name was found, but no expected type was specified. To allow entries without type information, the expected type must also be specified when the model is specified.
clientRequestId: d63e273b-c736-4ebf-8e4e-4d809203f6c8
serviceRequestId: 739a6da0-3038-1000-ba71-a74eefe1ab99

Solution

• It was small silly mistake 🙂
• In the body of an action we have specified “metadata” as

{
"_metadata":{"type":'SP.User'},
 'LoginName':'@{triggerOutputs()?['body/user/Claims']}'
}

• Please notice here we have underscore (“_”) before “metadata” keyword
• By mistake I only specified one underscore (“_”), those should be two
• As we specified two underscore (“_”) before “metadata” and tested flow, it went well. Flow executed successfully 🙂
• Corrected code as below

{
"__metadata":{"type":'SP.User'},
 'LoginName':'@{triggerOutputs()?['body/user/Claims']}'
}
