Can't save flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,278

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a flow to send me an email whenever  a new row is added to an Excel sheet in OneDrive for business.

The whole process seems very straightforward, and easy.

However, after finishing creating the flow, I can't save it!

Tried both Chrome and Edge.

Here's a screen shot!

The flow validation doesn't identify any errors.

 

Thanks for helping.

🙂

    Hi @MattWeston365 

    I've figured it out...

    The recurrence was set to 1 minute, but my plan allows me to run flows with a 5 minute recurrence only...

    Thanks anyway for trying to help 🙂

    I'm not sure what is an initialize variable, but nope: I can't save anything here.

    If you reduce your Flow to just the trigger and then an initialise variable, does that allow you to save?

    Hello @MattWeston365 

    Thanks for helping. This only happens with this flow, when I click the Save button, nothing happens, and I don't get any error message.

    I've tried several times building this same flow, but the problem persists.

    Hi @WebPortal that's strange, do you see anything across the top of the screen when you're saving?

     

    Is it just this one Flow or on all?

     

    If it's just this one, try copying your actions to the clipboard, start a new Flow and then rebuild step by step, saving after each action is added. That will help you to track down the issue. If you find a problem action, feel free to share it and we can try and help you through it.
