Why Does "Fix Connection" Error really occur?

Posted on by 128

I'm getting "Fix Connection" on my service account connection to my flows occasionally. So what does really cause "Fix connection"? CoPilot says that its for one of two reasons but the password on my service account is set to never expire and the account has, of course, not been removed or disabled. So there must be some other cause. And is there an automatic way to fix it? Maybe with PowerShell or something? Thanks in advance for any help!

 

"In Power Automate, a connection might display the “Fix connection” message under the following circumstances:

  1. Invalid Credentials: If the credentials associated with a connection are no longer valid (for example, due to password changes or account deactivation), the connection status becomes invalid. In this case, you’ll see the “Fix connection” message.

  2. Orphaned Connections: When an account associated with a connection is removed or disabled (such as when an admin leaves the organization), the connection becomes orphaned. To resolve this, you can re-authenticate the connection using new credentials."

    Hi @kbirstein ,

     

    Very strange and I don't have an answer.  But just wanted to comment the fix connection in my environments seems to be working as designed and expected.
