Turn off retries for entire flow

(0) Share

Posted on by Finnevirta

Hi!

I have a flow that is triggered from a Power app. For most runs I have managed to implement error handling but sometimes I will have to accept failed runs. However, when failed I would not want the whole flow to re-run several times (as it is now, 4 consecutive runs are always performed when the run fails). I have tried to set each individual step in the flow to retry 2 times. But still, the whole flow retries 4 times regardless of how the individual steps are configured.

Is there anyway to turn off automatic retries for the whole flow? Is it perhaps possible to send in a retry parameter when calling the flow in power apps?

Hi @Finnevirta ,

Microsoft flow would only run one time when it has been triggered one time.

Please check if you has run your PowerApps for 4 times so the flow would be trigger 4 times.

Okay, so Power apps triggering the flow 4 times seems to be the issue. However, we have not configured the Power app in this way and I think the issue is similar to the one suggested in the following thread: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/PowerApp-button-triggering-a-flow-4-times/td-p/552388

I have tried to remove and re-create the flow as suggested in the thread but with no result, the flow is still triggering 4 times at failure.

Hi @Finnevirta ,

It is the PowerApps issue and I suggest that you could ask for helping on PowerApps forum so your issue could be quickly answered.

@Finnevirta hi, i am having the same issue. If my flow run succeed, it only runs once BUT if my flows failed, it runs 4 times. Did you find a solution?

@Anonymous No, haven't solved it yet. I have posted in the Power Apps forum but not received any suggestions yet, https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Turn-off-retries-for-flow/m-p/702875
