I am running a Power Apps triggered Flow which creates a HTML document in SharePoint. Most of the times I run it, it works completely fine, but sometimes it is creating the document and none of the HTML text is showing and instead it just says "Show your HTML text here."
Is there any reason it takes multiple attempts at the same action to work?
I have attached screenshots of Flow and Power Apps button.
ok, cheers
I have set up a respond to powerapps for both outcomes with a message to inform the user if the PDF was created
Maybe some helpful info:
when you create an HTML box the default text is 'Show your HTML text here'
This is what is getting passed sometimes to Power automate
So the condition I am checking for is if size = 56 in order to determine what message to send back
Hello @johnomahoney
To me that looks then to be an issue in the Power Apps! It does not always deliver the data to the Power Automate (flow). Please review the Power Apps functionality.
To allow you to verify that the Power Apps does or does not deliver the data, add a compose action before the Create file PO and add the Power Apps data field in the Compose input field.
Then in the future runs, you can check what was delivered to Power Automate!
Kind regards, John
It seems that the 'request in powerapps' in the create file section, is not picking up the html in powerapps all the time. If someone more techy than me could help explain why and how to fix - that would be awesome!!
ok, I have compared 2 flows from the same user on the same day
one creates pdf , one does not
The difference in the code is that on the trigger output the one that fails has
"Connection": "Keep-Alive",
Hello @johnomahoney
Thank you for the screenshots, but that is from the flow itself. Can you take the screenshots of the flow run where you had the issue? Then we can identify if the issue is in the flow or in the data being delivered to the flow!
Kind regards, John
ha - no problem - they can get very long
here is the flow
HTML is created in Powerapps
as mentioned it works most of the time
Hello @johnomahoney
I went to far back in this thread 😄
Can you open a run in which the issue appeared, expand all the actions, then take a screenshot of everything! Edit out any data you don't want us to see 🙂
Kind regards, John
Hi
maybe got the wrong john?
My flow has no split - just a straight forward create, convert and save
Hello @johnom
Can you show us the actual steps that you have in you flow?
I am curious to why you have a parallel split just after the Power Apps action!
Kind regards, John
Anyone got an answer to this?
It's intermittent and can't figure it out
driving me nuts!!!!
