Twitter Failed to create connection for connection id

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi
I'm at the start of using Power * tools so I use MS Learn resources
Unfortunately the module
https://learn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/training/modules/build-approval-flows/2-create-approval-request

uses twitter API which always shows error - in both options "Bring your own application" or "Use default shared application"
It's Polish but EN is: Failed to create connection for connection id ... Maximum connections limit reached"

MS Learn does not help much - no note I need to have license or other resources

Maybe someone defeated that obstacle...?

    Hi @bighen ,

    There's a bit of a usability issue around this. Some services allow a small number of connections. 

    Twitter only allows 2.

    Maybe you can try to re-authenticate the twitter connections, or just delete them and try to create a new one from inside the flow editor.

     

    Here is a link for your reference:

    Best Regards

    I am facing the exact same issue. I am following the same tutorial and I was unable to do authenticate Twitter connection with any of these two methods available. After deleting connections and trying to authenticate again the error is still appearing.

    Hi, I am trying to connect to SAP Hana system from PA, I see same error - "Failed to create connection for connection id '/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_saperp/connections/shared-saperp'. There's a problem creating this connection. Make sure the gateway is online and reinstall it if the problem continues." Please help.

    I'm also facing the same issue, even though I don't have any active connection.

    Was able to get the solution after some frustration late on a Friday 🙂 Main problem was us creating too many connections by accident since we were putting in the incorrect API key/ key secret and even if we got the correct ones after we passed the limit of two - hence the "maximum number of connections" message.

     

    First solve in Power Automae: Remove connections in Power Automate by going to the main make.powerautomate.com left-hand menu > data > connections > click the three dots "ellipsis" next to the failed twitter connections > delete

     

    Second solve in Twitter Developer:  Start fresh by going to your dashboard and click the gear icon > click "Edit" > Delete App (save your app name for when you re-create)

     

    Create a new app by clicking "Add App" > name it your saved name (a new name wouldn't work for me) > copy your API Key and Key Secret (these are the correct API keys you will need).

     

    Lastly set up the user authentication settings: Click "Read and write and Direct message" > Click "Web Apps, Automated App or Bot" > put in https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect for the "Callback URI/ URL" and "Website URL" > Click "Yes" when changing permissions.

     

    ^the above link took me a while to find within the documentation.

     

    Once you've done all of the above, go back to your power automate twitter connection, put in your API Key and Key secret and the twitter login pop-up will successfully appear!

     

    Cheers! Was happy to see I wasn't alone on this and that I can hopefully help others wanting to learn Power Automate. Really not sure why they are using 3rd party connectors like twitter and mailchimp for these exercises.
