'Post a tweet' failing with a '401' - 'Unauthorized' error message

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 192

I have a simple flow that translates my English tweets to Arabic.  The first two actions work fine and the text is translated to Arabic, but the flow fails when it tries to post the Arabic version (RunID is 08587268463082001355998895032)

    Hi MrNigel,

     

    I created a similar flow with you to translate English Tweet to Arabic then post the Translate text and send an email. This flow worked well. I also tried to translate the English Tweet to another languages, it also worked well. Below is a screenshot of my flow.

    How was your flow configured? Please try again for this flow. If you still get the same error message, to reproduce this issue, please send me a screenshot of the detailed information about your flow configuration.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi Mabel,

     

    If I take a look at my 'Post a tweet' action there is nothing for me to configure with regard to the twitter account it will be posted to as the connection is already setup.  Have you put anything in the 'Media' field under advanced options?  I put the RunID in my post, can you take a look directly?

    Hi MrNigel,

     

    I didn’t put anything in the “Media” field under Advanced options. I just filled the mandatory field. You could also configure your flow with only mandatory field to try if the flow works for you.

     

    I didn’t find an Output about RunID, how did your configure this?

     

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao
