Email address issues with Update Contact V2 for Outlook

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7
I am trying to use Power Automate to update a contact in Outlook using the "Update contact (V2)" action. The issue I'm having is that when updating an email address, it seems to be ignoring what I put in for the Name field.
 
For example:
[
  {
    "name": "First Last",
    "address": "firstlast@example.com"
  }
]
 
becomes:
[
  {
    "name": "firstlast@example.com",
    "address": "firstlast@example.com"
  }
]
 
I've even tried hard coding it using the detail input where I get boxes I can fill in and it still ignores whatever I put for the name property. Has anyone else had luck specifying the name property for email addresses?

    I can reproduce your issue, so this might be a bug or a known issue. I would suggest to contact Power Automate support about this:
