Power Apps and Power Automate with OneDrive for Business

Posted on by AU-10101056-0

Hello,

I'm trying to trigger a flow from PowerApps, while using OneDrive for Business within the Power Automate flow. I'm using Extract archive to folder along with Get file content, both of whom work brilliantly when activating manual tests directly in Power Automate. The issue arises when calling the flow from Power Apps. The parameters are passed correctly and the file paths are given relative to the OneDrive folder location, but it isn't able to find it. The error code is a basic 404.

Thanks for all help!

Hi,

So it definitely is getting wrong information or it would just work. So what we want to do is this

1) You said it works manually, but that means you are typing IN values for those parameters.

So you want to find a run that you did manually and that it worked.

Open up those actions and validate the inputs and outputs

2) then go to a run that came from the canvas app.

open those actions and grab the inputs and outputs

Compare the two

Simple solution to find the problem.

I don't know how to respond directly to your suggestion, so I'll post it here. Thanks for your answer, but that was my first thought. From my relatively untrained eye it seems to be more of an issue with OneDrive than anything else. Underneath I've pasted the inputs from both runs where the top run is a failed one, and the bottom one is a failed one. The only difference I can spot is the connectionReferenceName and I'm not sure what that means.

Unsuccessful:

{
"host": {
"connectionReferenceName": "shared_onedriveforbusiness_1",
"operationId": "ExtractFolderV2"
},
"parameters": {
"source": "\\Documents\\Innovation\\A&D_test\\test.doc",
"destination": "\\Documents\\Innovation\\A&D_test\\test\\temp",
"overwrite": true
}
}

Successful:

{
"host": {
"connectionReferenceName": "shared_onedriveforbusiness",
"operationId": "ExtractFolderV2"
},
"parameters": {
"source": "\\Documents\\Innovation\\A&D_test\\test.docx",
"destination": "\\Documents\\Innovation\\A&D_test\\test\\temp",
"overwrite": true
}
}

I'm seeing similar issue with my flow, "OneDrive - Get File Content" action suddenly failed and the difference that I can see is "shared_onedriveforbusiness" when the flow successful and "shared_onedriveforbusiness_1" when the flow fails.
