Condition failing with BadRequest

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm trying to set a File System trigger on "When one or more files are added or modified", but I keep getting a "BadRequest" error.

 

Anybody else had this problem?

I've tried using other file paths, but nothing seems to work. I have the Gateway running, and it says it's connected to Flow.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @lalder,

     

    Do you want to access the OneDrive folder or File System folder?

    The “400” error told that the request is a Bad request.

    If you want to access the OneDrive folder, please use OneDrive account rather than File System, because the File System could not have access to OneDrive Folder.

    If you want to access the local machine folder, I have made a test on my side and don’t have the issue that you mentioned.

    The flow works successfully as below:2.JPG

    Please check if you have created a proper connection to File system. Besides, check if you have chosen proper folder in Folder property of “When one or more files are added or modified (metadata only)” trigger.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Can you explain what the configuration issue was?

    I am getting the same 400 issue as well and it's intermittent. 

    Thanks!
