Hi all, i've got an approval flow that fails randomly and i can't se why..

I've got a form where staff can send reports in-up to 10 at a time, they save as 'pending' in a SP libary. The flow fires off an approval to me and 2 others. We approve and the files go live on SP

Every so often i get an Etag issue:-

{"Etag":"\"{E809EC58-0969-491F-9ACC-80F8E6B9D2BF},3\"","Message":"The ETag of this item does not match the one used for setting content approval status. The contents of the item may have changed before the action was completed.","Succeeded":false,"ApprovalErrorCode":"etagMismatch","ApprovalLink":"https://#####.sharepoint.com/sites/T####Hub/Documents%20%20Reports/O#################################.xlsm?etag=%22%7bE809EC58-0969-491F-9ACC-80F8E6B9D2BF%7d%2c3%22","PublishStartDate":null,"ScheduledVersion":null,"ContentApprovalStatus":"None","ModerationStatus":"None"}
clientRequestId: 54bbb1ab-0a49-42db-8086-07659a1f6cf5
serviceRequestId: 54bbb1ab-0a49-42db-8086-07659a1f6cf5

If i re run the flow it's fine and goes through OK..

How can i stop this?

Hey @The_blue

I do not think there is something wrong with your Power Automate solution as it works most of times.

Can you please review the comment on https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Etag-error/td-p/292765

Perhaps you are facing the same scenario,

Thanks for that.. it seems strange that i'm getting a 90% success where the guy in the post wasn't getting any...

Does the number matter after the etag? That's the only difference i can see
