Hello everyone,
Pretty new at Power Automate, so I ran a simple "Send an email for a selected row" Flow in Excel, and when I wanted to run it I could see the Run action was disabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I just ran through this issue and landed up here looking for the solution.
While the solutions provided here was not relevant to me here, i found the solution to my issue.
To run the flow, please make sure you've selected rows/columns in the Excel Table. This is what caused the issue to me and I could run the flow once I had selected the rows.
Hope this helps.
Hey @Tjmunchies
As you are new you might be confused in the trigger of some flow. So, the manual flows or button flows you make will have a button you can start the flow from.
But the above flow that you have mentioned, its not a button flow, for this you will either have to select that row in the database, or go inside the flow and test it manually or automatically.
There are different kinds of flows in Power Automate. The Manual flows mostly have a flow run button, the automated flows run on their own so they dont have a button. For example, these flows will run when a row's/item's value changes.
Then there are scheduled flows, which also dont have a run button as well, which will run when you have scheduled the flow.
So, some flows will have a run button and some flows will not have a run button.
For the type of flows that do not have a run button, you can deactivate those flows as well.
See mine below also does not have a run button, its not even available for some flows.
If I answered your question, you can accept this as the solution. And if you liked the explanation, thumbs up/kudo, really helps. Thanks. 🙂
