Need to run scheduled flow even my computer is off

Posted on by Ravichandran

Hi All,

 

I have created a flow to copy an excel file from SharePoint and to store it in a local mapped network drive. I set recurrance at 1 am but the flow didn't run shows error like this

"Could not connect to your data gateway. Make sure your file system is active with the gateway running. The detailed error is

'Gateway on the endpoint"

Please give suggestions to run flow even my computer is off

    Hi @Ravichandran ,

     

    Is the data gateway installed on your computer?

     

    The data gateway is like a HTTP endpoint that relays communication between your flow in the cloud and the on premises resources.  If you shut down the computer, that endpoint is no longer accessible.

     

    To get it working, I recommend install it onto a server OR to find a dedicated computer that won't be turned off regularly.
