Error adding Fund to a receipt.

Reuben Schmitz

I am looking to add a Fund to a receipt. I am following the instructions from the mini-lab video: Power Automate Mini Skills Lab - Fund Description and Payment Method - YouTube .

But I am getting this error.

Anyone see what I might be doing incorrectly?

Matt Thacker

Hi @Reuben Schmitz, add a question mark after the [0]. So it should read:

['gift_splits'][0]?['fund_id']

Reuben Schmitz - Matt Thacker is correct that adding a ? can often time avoid those issues. However, in testing it, I'm not seeing an error without it, but that's typically when it's part of a loop. Can you post the context of that Get a Fund? Is it part of a Loop, a one-off, etc? The context may change the suggested approach.

Glen,

I have created a gift button to create a single receipt letter. There is no loop. Here is more of the flow for reference. The extra ? didn't make any difference.

I know that the video example used a list - does it make any difference for the expression that this is for a one-off gift, not a list?

Reuben Schmitz

The error says that it can't select Gift Splits, but looking at the json for the gift, this data appears to be present.

That particular code is assuming that it is an item in a list. The code would be different if it's a one-off. Assuming you didn't rename the original ‘Get a gift’ (which it doesn't appear you renamed), then try

outputs('Get_a_gift')?['body/gift_splits'][0]['fund_id'] .

Glen, that was the problem and the solution. Thanks for the assist. Still trying to get a handle on Expression use and syntax.
