Owner id in Tasks Activity (change with Power Automate)

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Simona Bushevska

I created a Power Automate flows that checks on the Invoices that are late with payment and I need to create a Task that is assigned to the BDE (Custom field in Invoice, where you choose a Contact), but

when I get the ID of this certain contact (BDE), I can't make it to be a owner, instead it is always me since I'm the one that created the Invoice in the first place. I get an error "

systemuser With Id = 0a2a2262-80ee-ea11-a817-000d3a200cf3 Does Not Exist", even though when I create a separate flow when I list the contacts and get the certain contact with this id the

_ownerid_type is system user. Does the owner id has to be the one that created the entity before, or is there a way to change this?

Hi,

You are trying to set Contcat GUID to Owner field which will not work because owner expect SystemUser GUID but not contact GUID.

0a2a2262-80ee-ea11-a817-000d3a200cf3 -> This ID is CONTACT ID not system user ID andthat is why you get the error.

You can set the Task owner to Invoice Owner or you will have create lookup to Systemuser in your invoice entity instead of contact.

Share your power automate screenshot.

You need to understand that a Contact cannot own a record in Dynamics 365. It need to be a systemuser record.

if you tell us the exact scenario, we can try to suggest you an approach to handle this situation.

Thank you, I didn't know that this. Anyhow I made some customization on the Invoice entity, as you can see in the picture below.

Now I need to create a task assigned to the person in the BDE field (which is contact), with Power Automate flow but as I said I can't assigned this BDE as an owner of a task. Any suggestions will be great, thank you in advance.

Hi,

You could assign your task record to the Contact owner.

You will need to add "Get Row By ID" to get the Contact Owner.

Thank you Bipin, but I am the contact owner since I'm the one who created this contacts, and I need to assign the task to the particular contact that is put in the BDE field.

Thank you Bipin,

Do you know how to use the Filter Query when you compare guid with operation eq, cause when I try to filter with the contactid eq with a '0a2a2262-80ee-ea11-a817-000d3a200cf3' I get this error

'

If I managed to filter contacts by a certain id, I think that I might found a solution.

HI,

Can you please share screenshot of your flow ?

You should use below expression -

contactid eq 9e4967da-8ee4-eb11-bacb-0022486e98df

What entity you selected in List Records?
