flow connections failed and needed reauthenticating

Posted on by westerdaled 620

 

I recently had an issue reported to me which impacted number of flows, owned by a user's account.

Although it is easy to fix 

  1. login as the user's account and navigate to https://make.powerautomate.com. 
  2. Next select your target environment and click on Data->Connections .
  3. Select each invalid connection and re-authenticate
  4. Repeat for in each environment where the account is used in a connection.

 

The questions I have are:  why did this issue occur and how can we monitor these connections, so we get an early warning when these issues occur?

    Problem seems to pop-up 1/3 of times, and saw it happen with the Office-user profile connector as well.

    Hi Tjise, I have EXACTLY the same error, but when writing to a SQL server.

    I am experiencing the same error when building a flow. The excel connector keeps asking for reauthentication repeatedly and the flow-checker shows warning signs due to it. Signing in solves the problem for no longer then 5-10 minutes, after which it again states that there is an error in the authentication. 

     

    Writing to tables also produces errors:

     

    BadRequest. Http request failed with status code 'KeepAliveFailure' and status message: 'The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.'.

    I suddenly also stood upon this problem.. Couldn't find a valid reason yet! 

     

    Looking for an answer as well!
