Shared Flow not working

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

My colleagues and I are currently working with Power Automate. When one of us creates a cloud flow, it functions correctly for the creator.

However, when the owner shares the flow by email or adds us as collaborators, the flow does not operate as expected for the collaborators.

We have attempted various actions—activating the flow, saving it under a different name, and more—but none of these solutions have resolved the issue. The only workaround that has been successful so far is for collaborators to recreate the flow from scratch.

Has anyone encountered this issue before, and is there a known solution?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi,


    This is a connections issue. When you share a flow, your connections don't come with it, each person needs to authenticate their own.

    Open the shared flow, go to Edit, and look for any steps highlighted in red or orange,  that means the connection isn't set up for that user. Click it and sign in with their own account.

    Also worth checking: if the flow has a manual trigger, each person running it needs their own valid connection. And if it uses any premium connectors (SharePoint premium, Dataverse, etc.), everyone needs a Power Automate Premium license, not just the owner.

    That's basically why recreating it from scratch "works", it forces the new person to set up connections themselves from the beginning.
