Cannot export from PowerApps due to missing Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by deeman 16

Hi guys,

 

I wasnt sure where to post this because its kind of related to both PowerApps and Power Automate.

 

I am trying to export my PowerApps App, however I am getting the following message:

 

" Could not find flow " < flow number> " '

 

In Power Automate. I have looked for this said Flow, and typing it in the URL I get the following message:

 

" This flow has been deleted".

 

So clearly a flow I used a while ago and then deleted.

 

So,

 

1) Is there a way to find the Flow and delete it even though I have deleted it from Power Automate and Power Apps?

 

2) Is there another way to export my App, even after deleting all the Flows from it? ( still get the same error)

 

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello @deeman 

     

    The error is popping up because the flow is still connected to your application.

     

    • To remove it from there, you need to open the app in the edit menu.
    • From the left menu, select Data Sources, remove the flow connection inside your app.
    • Save and Publish it.
    • Once it is published, try to reexport the app and let us know in case you still see the issue.

    This worked! Thank you. The mistake I made previously was not publishing before exporting

     

    thanks!

    Same here, there were two old conections referal to button flows. Just removed those.
