400 error when using the Sharepoint download file action

Jedwards54 — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 11:21:37 GMT

I'm getting a 400 Bad request when trying to download a file using the Graph api - Download Action.

I have entered the Sharepoint Site id File ID and access token which are all correct, but still the action is refusing to work. Any thought on how to get this resolved?

Thanks,

Jack

Hello @Jedwards54 - Bad request means there is some issue in the input how you are passing- syntax issue, param issue.

also, can you share which DX asset you are using.

i just tried with VBO v3.1.0 [See below] and it worked fine [ this is DX asset link - BluePrism Digital Exchange ]

Input are self explanatory. Let me know if you need help.

@Jedwards54 - while there are multiple way to fetch Drive ID. You can find Drive ID from Action - Get Default Drive Details Action.

Input - Site iD and token

Output - You will get Content data item [JSON format]. Convert it to Collection using Utility -JSON and

id column will be your Drive ID in collection

also refer below link for more information.
