PowerApps error when workflow is run "InvokerConnectionOverrideFailed" on Sharepoint

I have a Sharepoint custom form in PowerApps. In the OnSuccess of the form it's calling a workflow in Power Automate when a new Sharepoint list item is created. As the main owner of the workflow I was able to successfully run the workflow with no issues upon creation of new item, however when a different users is creating an item the workflow doesn't seem to run and I got this error message "ApprovalWorkflow.Run failed: { "code": "InvokerConnectionOverrideFailed", "message": "Failed to parse invoker connections from trigger 'manual' outputs. Exception: Could not find any valid connection for connection reference name 'shared_sharepointonline' in APIM tokens header." }". I already tried removing the workflow from the app and adding it again but i'm still getting the same error. The workflow uses an Approval, Sharepoint and Outlook connection.

I also tried saving a copy of the workflow and removing the old workflow from the powerapps and adding the new one. But I'm still getting the same error for other users (except me). One thing I notice when a new user accesses the app the prompt for permission is only for Approvals and Outlook, there was no prompt for Sharepoint permission.

When I was faced with this issue, there was a previous custom connector connection I had overlooked, and just had to delete that as it was not in-use (while also removing the flow from the app as a safety measure as well). Don't forget to rule out the small stuff!

Re: PowerApps error when workflow is run "InvokerConnectionOverrideFailed" on Sharepoint

We've been struggling with the same error for quite some time, but we're glad to have finally found its root cause.

The error follows a distinct pattern: it emerges when using a single automated flow across two different applications, particularly when configuring the same flow in multiple apps with different underlying connections.
By 'different underlying connections,' I mean users utilizing various Microsoft accounts.

For instance, in App_1, the flow is configured using abc@xyz.com,
while in App_2, it's configured using qwe@xyz.com.
This discrepancy causes ambiguity, leading the flow to struggle when making API calls.

The question then arises: Can we use a single automated flow in different PowerApps?
Yes, it's possible.

Solution-:
The solution involves ensuring that a flow 'FLOW' integrated/used in multiple PowerApps like 'App_1' and 'App_2,' is connected to underlying connections (such as SQL or SharePoint) using the same Microsoft account. This consistency in underlying connections (SQL or SharePoint) is crucial to prevent these errors.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. Happy learning!

Same issue today.
I was about to follow the "solved solution", and before removing powerautomate connector, I clicked on modify from PowerApps.
Then, I did nothing else than close the PowerAutomate embeded window.
I tried again my apps and it works !

Thank you, that worked! I needed to refresh the App after those 2 steps, but I'm now back in business. Thanks again.

Rename the flow and save. Should work after that

What an absolute crock of sh*t everything to do with Power Platform ALM is. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves pushing this half-baked cr*p on us.

Remove and re-add the Flow in the App solved the issue for me
