Error when trying to Update Excel before creating Approval Request

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 47

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create "Update a row" in excel before creating Approval request, but I cannot save it?

How can I overcome this?

Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Update_a_Row_Excel' at line '1 and column '11148' cannot reference action 'Wait_for_an_approval'. Action 'Wait_for_an_approval' must either be in 'runAfter' path or within a scope action on the 'runAfter' path of action 'Update_a_Row_Excel', or be a Trigger.'.'.

I was trying to run this update in a parallel, but no luck, same error message every single time.

Can someone please help, as I wasn't able to find any resource on web.

 

BR,

Anthony
