Power Automate errors / Schema

InvalidTemplate. The provided value is of type 'Null'.

platform: Power Automate / category: Schema / code: InvalidTemplate

Cause

An expression using dynamic values fails at runtime because the actual data is null when a string, object, or array was expected - not catchable at save time.

Fix

Open the failed run, select the action, and inspect Inputs for the actual value. Guard null-prone references with if(empty(...)) or coalesce() to supply a default. Validate types before conversion (e.g. isInt() before int()). For dates, pass an explicit format to formatDateTime()/parseDateTime().
