error: Cloud connector call failed with status code 'BadRequest'

Posted on by IanBSky 2

I am using PowerAutomate desktop to convert Word files to PDFs using the 'Convert Word Document to PDF' action.

 

The Flow fails with the BadRequest error message, any ideas what I need to check?

 

(When I check the 'Connection references' my connection is shown with a tick against it so I assume it's okay)

    Hey @IanBSky - Please switch to classic designer and see if you get more details about the error?

    I had a similar problem and switching to "Classic\Old" designer helped me identify the problem.

    As I mentioned I am using PA Desktop, there is no option to switch to the Classic version in PA Desktop
