Approvals + Respond to Power Apps error (timeout 180 seconds)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Hello,

 

There is an app which triggers a flow with approval.

After Create an approval action I wanted the flow to respond to PowerApps with an approval id value.

 

For some users there is an error on Respond to a PowerApp or flow action:

The execution of template action 'Respond_to_a_PowerApp_or_flow' is failed: the client application timed out waiting for a response from service. This means that workflow took longer to respond than the alloted timeout value. The connection maintained between the client application and service will be closed and client application will get an HTTP status code 504 Gateway Timeout.

I noticed that this is  probably happening for new users that uses Approvals for the first time - create an approval action takes ~5 minutes, which is over the 180 seconds timeout set for a request:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/limits-and-config#request-limits

My guess is that it took so long for the first time because of Approval table cretaion process takes some time.

 

An experiences with similar cases?

Any ideas how to rebuild it?

 

I can try to trigger fake approval request for new users to create Approval tables, but I want to make sure that this is the issue.

 

Happy New Year!

Radek
