Flow just not starting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a flow which is triggered by "When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox". This was working fine till yesterday, but today the flow isnt even starting. Any idea what may have caused the issue? It started on its own today and stopped again.

 

A same trigger works fine, I exported and imported the flow but to no avail.

 

What could be the reason that the flow would just stop getting triggered randomly?

    Hi @Anonymous

    If you go to Edit > Test Flow ... does it run ?

    If it errors, can you screen grab the errors and post a detailed pic of your Flow and I'll have a look.

    Thanks, Alan

    It looks like you have chosen "I'll perform the trigger action"

    Please try "Using data from previous runs" and run a previous working one.

    Sorry I clicked accept as a solution as a mistake.

    It shows only last 5 attempts, and all are failed.

    Run a failed one. It will still get you either a success or more likely an error. Then expand the error and screen shot it and post it.

    Do the same with your while Flow and any detail. It’s the only way I/We can help you here.

    Thanks, Alan

    Oh Geez, the test ran successfully but not running in live mode.

     

    I will lose my job because of Microsoft!

    Hahaha ... that gave me a chuckle @Anonymous

     

    Why don't you try saving a copy of the Flow, name it something else and when you do it will be disbaled by default. You could then flip it on and the other off temporarily and run it.

     

    That's kinda what I'd do as this sounding a little quirky!

     

    Thanks, Alan
