Hi !
I have a flow that was working completety fine until this weekend, where I got an execution fail ("An action failed. No dependant actions succeeded"). Based on my research, I think it is a false-positive, and that it could be solved by the solution outlined here (adding a "compose" action). However, having limited knowledge of PowerAutomate, I am having trouble putting this in place. I have taken a few screenshots, hope it shows what it needs to (my interface is in French, so I have added some translation of the functions/actions in red).
Goal of the flow
If that can help, here's the goal of the flow :
- I have an Excel file that contains a list of dates
- The flow runs everyday, and if today's date matches with one of the date in the Excel file, an email is sent to some given recipients (coming from a different Excel file). If no match, no further action is required.
History
For the last 28 days, the flow was executed everyday, as expected. It ran successfully everyday, except on June 17 where it failed, and which is the only date where an email was supposed to be send out (i.e. the only day that the condition of the flow was met).
Where I'm blocked
The solution from this thread is to add a "compose" component. My issue is : I am not sure where in my flow this step should be added. I have numbered in my second screenshot below the place where a step can be added. Could someone point to me where the "compose" should go ? Completely at the end (#7) ?
Fail execution
Details of the flow
Thank you very much !
@CRICARD ,
You need to first identify the error.
You can do that by clicking on this icon. it will show you the action that caused the error.
Once you have identified the error, next you need to add exception handling.
This article describes how you do that
