get file content - timeout with large files

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I have a scheduled flow, that runs a desktop flow (open excel, refresh, save), then gets the file content attaches to email and send out.

Until beginning of October this worked perfectly on a 22MB excel file. since then we get the error "Gateway timeout".  the gateway has been updated to the latest version. the first part of the flow works perfectly, but the "get file content" gives "time out" after 2mins. If I run the same flow on a smaller excel file it doesn't have any issues. Any ideas on how to get this to work for larger files again?

    I already tried setting the timeout to 10 minutes, but still receive a time out at 2 minutes... Any ideas on how to fix this?
