"The provided flow name '<null>' is not valid." when posting a Teams feed notification

(33) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 68
This flow worked already for months, and suddenly stopped working with the error "The provided flow name '<null>' is not valid." I see no option to specify the 'flow name', and don't know what value it should be. I can't find any similar problems in Google or this forum.
 
I tried removing the step and recreate it from scratch, with the same result. Posting an 'adaptive card' works, so the connection to Teams should be fine.
 
This is the code view of the step:
{
  "type": "OpenApiConnection",
  "inputs": {
    "parameters": {
      "poster": "Flow bot",
      "notificationType": "team",
      "body/recipient": "@items('Apply_to_each')",
      "body/previewText": "Nieuw proef-account: @{triggerBody()?['company']}",
      "body/channelRecipient/groupId": "e3a20e9b-d53e-4868-a55e-8e4023148b96",
      "body/channelRecipient/channelId": "19:41ae55653d68456997ab64f651738c70@thread.tacv2",
      "body/messageId": "@outputs('Adaptieve_kaart_posten_in_chat_of_kanaal')?['body/id']"
    },
    "host": {
      "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_teams",
      "connection": "shared_teams_1",
      "operationId": "PostFeedNotification"
    }
  }
}

    Hello,
     
    We are also facing the similar issue from yesterday onwards, no changes done on the flow which was working fine for last 4-5 months.
     
    Also, in apply to each we have the email id of the people to whom the notification will go to teams feed.
     
    Thanks in advance for helping on this.

    did you try to refresh the connection ? 
    remove and add the action again ?

    I created a new connection and assigned it to the flow step, but I get the same error. Recreating the step: also the same error.
     
    The last successful notification was sent at 3 October 13:38 (Amsterdam time).

    The for loop is just e-mail addresses of employees:
     
    {
    "name": "Users",
    "type": "Array",
    "value": [
    "x@inserve.nl",
    "y@inserve.nl",
    "z@inserve.nl",
    "a@inserve.nl",
    "b@inserve.nl"
    ]
    }
    ]

    I am experiencing the same issue.  Getting the error "The provided flow name '<null>' is not valid." with a flow that is supposed to work out of the box.
