Hello everyone, I'm trying to deploy a desktop flow through a cloud flow, but this error is being shown:

The cloud flow is showing this error, but when I check the desktop flow, it seems to be all right. I can run the flow manually on my desktop without problems. I have already recreated several times the SharePoint connection, but still the same issue.

This is the cloud flow

Its working fine from my end. Check the desktop flow connector details used in the cloud flow(Machine connector). There is no issues i see depending on the desktop screenshot you have shared.

I'm encountering a similar issue. Previously, some SharePoint actions in a desktop flow were set to use a specific SharePoint connection reference. Then, these actions were updated to use a single, different connection reference in the same solution as the desktop flow. When migrating to a different environment, the desktop flow continues to error out with this detail:

Access to some desktop flow connectors wasn't validated. Verify the following connections: SharePoint_Connection_Reference and try again.

I have verified that this connection reference is no longer used anywhere in the desktop flow, and I've exported a new version of the solution, but I continue to get this error.

I get the same error and have tried with different Sharepoint connections.
Has it got something to do with the fact that my flow is unattended?

I have same issue where Desktop Flow runs fine interactively, but errors out when trying to run in Unattended mode from cloud flow. Error references a SharePoint connection that is not validated. This is now a 7 month old thread with no solutions. Anyone???

I have the same issue. Runs fine when run from desktop. Even runs fine when I run it attended from the cloud. But the moment I try to run unattended I run into connection problems:
Access to some desktop flow connectors wasn't validated. Verify the following connections: XXXXXXX_shared_sharepointonline_XXXXXXXX and try again.
Did anyone aready found a solution?

In case someone is still struggling.. I found the solution for me. All connections are with the "robot account" however, when I started off the unnattended flow I did it from my own account in make.powerautomate.com. When I logged off and logged in with the "robot account" in the cloud flow, the flow run succesfully. Hopefully this helps for you as well!

This worked for me:

Open the Desktop Flow management panel in Power Automate Web.

Since the Desktop Flow uses connectors, ensure that the option to "Manage" connection references is available. Click on this option.

For each connection reference within the Desktop Flow, enable the "Embedded in Desktop Flow" option.

Ensure that the user running the flow is set as a Co-owner.
