Sudden issue with flow causing it to auto-trigger and fail repeatedly.

Hi community,


This is my first time posting here so forgive me if I'm not adhering to the standard practices on this forum. I am using microsoft flow for a couple of projects and quite mysteriously all of my five flows seem to have been triggered multiple times at exactly 3.29AM. This has resulted in multiple emails being sent out to external clients..

 

I am providing some screenshots below.  Please note that this flow has worked successfully for the last 9 months and has suddenly caused this trigger. Was there any power flow update sent out yesterday or from sharepoint?

    You need to be a Power Platform admin or other type of tenant admin to submit a ticket - you submit tickets from the Admin center.

    I cannot seem to find the support ticket link on any part of the website? Can you please provide me the link to the support ticket page?

    Unfortunately, I can't provide additional clarity.  You'll need to submit a support ticket from an answer.  Sorry.....

    Hi @ScottShearer  Thanks for the quick response. It does seem to work as expected now but since all my flow sends out quite a bit of external facing emails to clients it's making me quite nervous to put it back into effect for tonight.
    Can you provide some more clarity on what might have been the issue and the chance that this might occur again in the future (or has it happened before)?

    Could this be due to some update on the side of Microsoft itself? (Funny thing is I actually work for the ad-tech division under microsoft 😅).

    @oh_abhishek 

    Is your issue that the Flow failed or that it ran?

    If you are concerned that it errored, please force the Flow to run now and see if it completes successfully?  My thought is that this might be a temporary issue with Power Automate.
