Hello,

 

I use the cloud version of Power Automate with my 365 personal account.

 

I try to modify a simple flow that send an email via Gmail, but it refuses to save any change. The app says the email adress provided is invalid, but successfully continue to do its duty, proof the email adress is fine.

 

I try to clear the historic of the browser, but no change happend.

 

I try to create a new flow with the same basic informations, but got the same problem.

 

I don't find a d%? clue to resolve that issue for more than two weeks now. I hoped it would resolve by itself, but it doesn't. 

 

How can it be fixed? What's the problem?

    Hi @Peter39 ,

    I trust you are good, It has been an issue observed recently, I believe it's probably a temporal issue which I am sure the team from Microsoft are looking to resolve as it has been reported by different users in the community, If they are making necessary update to capabilities of free action, I am sure they would drop an update in regards to that. 

    I would advise if you can, You should probably explore moving your gmail flow to an Outlook for business flow pending when that is resolved.

    Kindly like my response and mark as a solution to aid others with similar issues in the community resolve them

    My flows have just started working again today. Let's hope it stays that way.

    Hi @PatMoore,

     

    I trust you are good,

     

    As suggested earlier I guessed it was a temporal issue, Which they have most likely resolved due to the constant compliant they have received. 

     

    Kindly feel free to like my response and Mark as a solution to aid others in the community easily resolve similar issues
