have a simple flow which works randomly, cant figure out why... the problem seems to be at the point where it should get the attachment from a SPO List. I added a step to send me mail on what is the display name but too often its empty.... i suspect that this might be related to some overload of the service ? I always use the same file, same user...

Hi @Sifu ,

If the attachment size is large, I recommend you to add a Delay below the trigger and use Get item action to get the detailed info of the item.

Please ensure you add attachments to an item when creating an item.

When processing some similar cases before, I found that if the size of the attachment is large, the item will be created first, and the attachment will be delayed for a period of time to upload successfully. Therefore, the attached information cannot be obtained in time after Flow is triggered.

Best Regards,

i was thinking in this direction already, but tested only with 10 seconds delay do you think 2minutes is really required?

Hi @Sifu ,

This needs to be tested by you to determine the time required, I just provide a reference.😁 Maybe 20s is enough.
