Flow and Jotform - Causing locked Excel Sheet

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Hi,

 

I have Jotform that connects to my flow, and writes to the excel sheet. The excel sheet is a data source for my PowerApp. Flow.JPG

 

 

 

When the data is written, the PowerApp is locked out from the Excel File ( I am using Excel(bussiness) connections). Soon as i delete the new data added to the row, the PowerApp is able to access the file again. I checked all the other posts and the fix for them seemed to be using the Excel Bussiness connection which I am using. 

 

Is there any work around for this? I can't find much infomation on using JotForm and Flows. I need to use Jotform due to the way it handles email notifications and sending to multiple users. 

 

Error Message:

 

Failed to load Freelancers. The requested resource is locked. Server response: Cannot write file to filesource.

Thanks

    Hi amelsom,

    According to your description, what your purpose is to  insert the JotForm data into Excel.

    I have made a flow for your scenario, please check it for a reference.

    I suggest you to rebuild a new flow for another try.
