Automate option disabled in Sharepoint

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 60
I have some flows with a manual execution trigger associated with a Sharepoint list, but I can't execute them anymore because suddenly the “Automate” option in the list item's menu has become disabled:
 
In addition, the flows were working normally until 24 hours ago. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Hi  faschimi,
     
    I would suggest checking if you have the right level access to the SharePoint site like Owner, Member or Full Control Access.
     
    Hope it helps. 
     
    Kind regards,

    I don't think it's a permissions problem because the user running the flow has full control over the site. In addition, the flows were working normally until 24 hours ago.

    Then I would suggest checking the SharePoint connection if its active and readding it if needed. 
     
    Hope it helps.

    The connections are all OK, so much so that the automated flows are working normally. The problem is with the instant flows, which cannot be run if the “Automate” option is disabled.

    Yesterday the appearance of the Sharepoint lists had been changed, making them similar to the Microsoft Lists view. In this condition, the Automate option was enabled again. Today, however, the lists have reverted to their old appearance and the problem has returned.
