Power Automate Flow suddenly stopped working

HI.

 

I have built a flow which takes an attachment sent to a Microsoft Group Mailbox and saves it to a specific Sharepoint location. It worked perfectly fine for 6 months and then suddenly one day provided the following error

 
ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied
The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each_' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied.
 
The email sent to the group mailbox has not changed and the flow wasn't changed at all. So I cannot understand why this no longer works.
I have tried rebuilding the flow but appears it is the condition "where attachment name contains ActiveTask is where it trips up.
I have removed condition but it then skips any of the active and closed task emails containing files and populates in SharePoint another unrelated file which was sent a day earlier than the other files.
 
If this did not work initially I would appreciate likely myself with the error but for it to work perfectly for 6 months and then randomly stop working one day makes me think Microsoft have been changing stuff
 
Anyone else come across this random issue?

    Power automate flow 1.JPGPower automate flow 2.JPGHere is the flow: @creativeopinion 

    This successfully flowed and saved the file to the relevant sharepoint site - i used a contains "ActiveTasks" as file is named ActiveTasks- YYYYMMDD

     

    Group ID matches on the two crossed out fields + the SharePoint site is valid. 

     

    The activetask condition is looking at Attachment Name when there is an attachment.

    The 15th April - PowerAutomate has not triggered - fails to trigger even on manual and i resend the files again.

    @nick5029 If you could share a screenshot of your flow.. I could try to provide recommendations or thoughts. It's hard to do so without seeing what your flow looks like. 

    Can you also upload a screenshot of your flow run that failed?

    HI @creativeopinion 

     

    been doing more digging and for some reason PowerAutomate has stopped recognising the trigger all together.

     

    Sunday I received email titled Active Tasks 2024-04-14 - worked fine and saved to Sharepoint without issue.

    Monday I received email titled Active Tasks 2024-04-15 - PowerAutomate has not even recognised this - nothing changed in the email apart from date - this has been fine since September without issue.

     

    Have you come across this before?

    Thanks

    Nick
