simple condition fails (sometimes) with "no inputs"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 62

Hello,
I've a simple flow, triggered by "When a new email arrives (V3)" condition, in a specific folder.

2nd step is a condition , combination of:

  • "subject contains"
  • "subject does not contains"
  • "body doesn't not contains"

That flow used to run (several times per day) without any issue until few days ago.

Recently it just stopped triggering. I've solved it by performing an "edit"/"test"/"save" sequence.

Unfortunately, since then, from time to time  (not often but already occurred several times) the flow fails (status: "cancelled") with that error:

I have absolutely no idea how to fix this

    I had the same problem with one of my flows, after changing the condition input to the right "input" it wored. Check the "input condition" and change it.

    Re: simple condition fails (sometimes) with "no inputs"

    This is interesting because I have a flow that does return both

    {
     "expressionResult": true
    }

    and

    {
     "expressionResult": false
    }

    in one condition block, depending of course on the inputs. However, the next condition block returns

    No inputs

    even though I have confirmed data points on the inputs do contain values. Interesting though, that, like @Pion_G, my triggers are a series of Or statements.

    Hi

    What did you do here? I think I am having same issue where expecting False (to lead down No path) but giving No Inputs... Yes very misleading if this is the case.

     

    How did you get a false if doesn't match?

    Re: simple condition fails (sometimes) with "no inputs"

    After more testing, it seem that the "no inputs" show up is when the condition do not match.
    When it matches, raw input is:

    {
        "expressionResult"true
    }


    logically, I thought that when it doesn't, it should have been

    {
        "expressionResult": false
    }

    but this it not the case apparently! Inputs are null!

    Very misleading.

    So, there may be changes in the subjects of the mails I'm filtering which could explain what I'l seeing

    I"m unable to locate any "open/create/submit ticket" button on that page
    It just show a blank page with "Welcome to the Power Platform support portal" text inside.

    Since the issue is in the "condition" step, the problem is not related to the Outlook connector
    I've even used intermediate variables to make the condition based only on those variables, not the email trigger dynamic data.

    I've deleted the "condition" et rewritten from scratch
    And I still get "No Inputs" error from the condition

    Ok I've managed to delete the existing connexion, edit the flow to set up a new one (same credentials )
    Testing the flow with a previous run fails identically.
    I'm going to wait a little bit for a "normal" trigger

    Hi @Pion_G .

     

    Have your tried to delete and recreate the connection?

    .


    I don't have "connections" items in the UI but  "connectors":

    and it's content is different (its not my used connections but availables connectors)
