(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by victorwc 13

I am using Power Automate Desktop to create some flow.

But it cannot be saved now.

 

Error Message: Flow "xxx" failed to save

Correlation ID: d419547a-c69a-4aba-a498-93c68c5d2a2d

Can anyone advise the reason and solution?
I have searched around and found the topic below but it cannot solve my problem because I already have database and already have upgraded my plan.

Also, this problem only happen to Power Automate Desktop.

There is no problem if I use Windows Recorder.

    Hi @victorwc

     

    Is this an issue that happens with all your desktop flows?

     

     Also, could you check at the Windows Event Logs if there are any logs related to this error?

    I am also having this issue.  What exactly should I be looking for in the Event Logs?

    I'm having the same issue too. It is frustrating that it started with able to save without any issues. After keep adding steps, I got this error. This could happen at any particular step. Disabling or removing recently-added steps did not help. Basically, I will have to start a new flow.

    If you're using a personal Microsoft account, please check if your OneDrive is working fine. Otherwise you might have internet connection issues? Also try to logout/login from/to PAD.

    I'm using the Enterprise Microsoft 365 account. Log on/off did not help. I even tried on a different machine and got the same error

    I can't even do that.  I can't save ANY flows at all.

    You cannot even do it even no actions or a simple one? I started with able to save then afterward it would fail. Removing recently-added ones would not help.

    Nope.  I can't even save a flow with no actions at all.

    Do you have the latest version installed? https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2102613

    Are all IP addresses reachable? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/ip-address-configuration

    Backup and clear %localappdata%\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop

    Or Dataverse database issue or policy/permission changes?
