Why do I receive emails informing me that workflows have failed when they haven't failed? I check the history and the indicated workflows have run without issues.

Using flows

Hi @AR-02081816-0,

I guess we need to check how error notifications are configured in Power Automate flow. Howerever, two things I want you suggest to spot, on is when this weired behviour started and what is the freuqencies? Also, is it intermittent or some sort of logic variations trigger this email?

Common reasons include:

Error handling in the flow: Some flows use “Try-Catch” with scopes and “Configure run after” settings that send failure emails if any action inside a scope fails, even if the overall flow run is marked successful.
Partial failures or skipped actions: A flow run can succeed overall but have individual actions that fail or are skipped, triggering error notifications.
Notifications from nested scopes or parallel branches: If error notification emails are tied to specific actions or scopes that fail, you may get emails even if the main flow completes successfully.
Transient or intermittent errors: Sometimes actions fail briefly but are retried or compensated for, leading to a successful run but an error notification email.
Misconfigured error notification logic: If the flow’s error notification emails are triggered on any failure within the flow without proper filtering, you may get false alarms.

Please check these area and take appropriate actions if you suspect.

I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!
