Copilot Studio - Access SharePoint List
Hi There, for a testing prupose, I want to create an agent with Copilot Studio. I want to access SharePoint List via action="Get items" from SharePoint. I selected/entered in "Inputs" section: Site Address = http:// .... List Name = Employee List Top Count = 5000 Filter Query = Dynamically The list has employee information, around 10 columns, and 150 rows. When I submit such "Who is Jasmin?" or any other similar question such "Who is Jasmin Tailor?" Overall: I am searching about existing employee and not existisng in the list, ... I get always this error message: Error Message: The connector 'SharePoint' returned an HTTP error with code 400. Error Code: ConnectorRequestFailure Conversation Id: 3c0377a0-83c1-412b-9d1a-761f8202203a Time (UTC): 2025-04-15T16:49:08.414Z First time I run this agent with this action, I was asked to connect, which worked fine. However I still get this error message. I am the creator of the agent and I am also the owner of this sharepoint list. Any idea, what am I doing wrong? Or can I somewhere check if this "Get itrems" action or other actions are temporarily not working? THANKS !
