The error indicates that a previous branch action was not satisfied, as we can't see the previous actions, it's really hard to tell why it used to work but suddenly stopped.

Hi @royg ,

here is my flow:

where each action containing this formula:
1. Compose - containing DoB column from sharepoint list
2. Compose 1 -
formatDateTime(outputs('Compose'),'dd-MM')
3. Condition -
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd-MM')

Hi @safiranrd !

For the condition, is it comparing with something? If yes, it seems incomplete from your response you gave.

3. Condition -

First operand: formatDateTime(utcNow(),'dd-MM')

Second operand: Empty

Operator: Empty

Is it by chance comparing with the output from Compose 1 action?

Please do specify.

Hi @NathanAlvares24 ,

The condition is making sure the outcome from compose 1 equal to
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MM-dd')

So basically, you are iterating the items in your SP list and checking if their DoB (birthday?) date is the same as today (ignoring the year part).
Have you verified that there are items that meet that Date?
Moreover, in order not to iterate all the items, you could add that test in a Filter Array action.
