Send a customized email when a new file is added - error

[smaviega]

Guys I have used the template from MS but I am getting the error below on the step Get my profile (V2)

{   "error": {     "code": "BadRequest",     "message": "Parsing Select and Expand failed.",     "innerError": {       "request-id": "727875f9-5f6e-4e4d-82ff-2463bd20a90a",       "date": "2020-04-27T21:03:06"     }   } }

Could you please advise?

Thanks

Stefano

Post a picture of your flow.  You can redact any personal information

Where is the flow supposed to pull the user info from?  The flow you have is an automated flow when a document is added / created so the flow needs to know where to look for user info or is this only being sent to yourself?  If it is being sent just to you then no need to use get my profile.  Just type your name in the To*.

Also html doesn't work.  You need to use MarkDown.

I've tested without "Get my Profile" and I get the email.

Hello Rmanthey, the link you sent to be I can't access...it gives to access denied.

The ideia is to send emails to a group of people, including myself.

So yes, afeter I remove Get my profile it worked.

So what is the purpose of this Get my Profile function?

Thanks

If you needed to get information about a user's profile then you could use that.  

Let's say you were grabbing the name of the person who created that sharepoint file you were sending the email about then you would put the 'Created By" in the Get User Profile input.  Then you could get information on the User Profile, like picture, extension, Full Name, etc.  However that is not needed in your situation. The easiest thing for you is to just add everyone to a group email then add that group or just type in all the emails.  

Not sure why the link isn't working..

Here it is again.  If it doesn't work just google    'Power Automate Markdown'   its probably going to be the first result.
