Flow not running

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 91
Hello all,
 
I built a very long flow. It was successfully saved but for some reason, when I try to test it it does not run. If I try manually, it will ask me to perform the triggering action to see it run, but I modify the file and nothing happens. It does not give me an error or anything, it just doesn't do anything.
 
If I try to automatically use a recently used trigger, it does nothing after I clock on Test. I am clueless as to why this is happening:
 
Could it be because of the length of the flow? I find that weird because I followed the instructions on a video to create it and it works for them, so I don't know why it's not doing anything for me. And since it is not even giving me an error, I don't know where to start troubleshooting.
 
Do you have any ideas?
 
Thank you!

    Be aware that it can take up to about 5 minutes for the flow to trigger when adding or modifying a list item, even when testing. Are you waiting that long before deciding it didn't run?  Also, what trigger are you using and are you using any trigger conditions?

    @Pstork1​​​​​​​ Yes, I waited for around 30 minutes and nothing happened. I found the problem, the trigger condition was using the wrong ID. Thank you! :)
