Power Automate Approval Flow Error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am setting up an approval flow, and it was working perfectly, but at a certain point, this error message appeared, preventing me from inserting an item update in the SharePoint list.

O modelo de fluxo de aplicativo lógico do fluxo de energia era inválido. The template actions 'Atualizar_item_18' are nested at level '9' which exceeds the maximum nesting limit of '8'.

    Power automate nesting limit error occurs when the flow exceeds 8 levels of nested actions like conditions, Apply to each or switch statements. This setting cannot be disabled as this is a default set by the platform.
     
    Steps to resolve the nesting error are defined in the document shared below.
     
    It is always advised to keep the number of looping statements or conditions to below 8 to avoid these scenarios
