"Error from token exchange permission denied due to missing connection ACL" while using Approval

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,023 Moderator

Hello,

 

I'm using a simple flow where I collect properties of an element from a SharePoint list, then submit an approval to an user.

 

The thing is I have several flows like that, but there is only one which ends up with this error and I can't put my finger on the issue.

 

I tried to create a new connection, I tried to re-create the whole connector to send a brand new approval, I even removed the dynamic content I was using to populate the approval. And my licence doesn't appear to be expired or anything. I tried sending the approval to me directly, but even this doesn't work.

 

Does anyone have an idea about this?

    Hold on... I just noticed my flow actually lost its connections (SharePoint, Approvals, etc.). I'll try to re-establish them.

    Well yes, that seemed to be the problem. The flow somehow lost its connections which explain why he couldn't "connect" when trying to send the approval.

     

    I still can't understand why the connections would vanish like that and I don't even know where to begin looking at for this, but at least my flow is working now.

    it happened to me when I changed the flow trigger from Recurrence (every 10 mins, with setting to run Only one session at a time) to Manually triggering the flow.  

    I noticed an error when I tried to save the flow, since the original trigger was different. 

    solution: 

    I created a new flow and copied all the flow actions, except for the List Files in Folder action.  For that one I created a new action. 

    Everything seems to work without a glitch

    I have had this error for days and tried to resolve it by updating the connection settings.  In the end, I landed up setting up a new connection from the Flow in question and works fine now.

    It seems that the issue happens only when a flow is created with PowerBI and then edited with Power automate web. 

    This is the only time experienced, so I guess the solution is to keep edit the flow within PowerBI desktop (not sure the web version)
