Error adding Flow to canvas app (CDS current environment connector)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, i am currently experiencing issues when trying to add a flow to a button in a canvas app.

When trying to add the flow, i am getting error message "Failed during http send request".

 

I believe this may be an issue with the "Common data service (current environment)" connector.

My flow uses this connector to insert data into some CDS entities.

However, if i use the connector "Common data service" instead of the "Common data service (current environment)" connector, i am able to add the flow to the button successfully.

 

It isnt a flow problem, i can run the flow stand-alone without issues using the CDS current environment connector.

 

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Is there a work around or a fix to this problem?

Any information to get me past this problem would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you mean that:
    1)if you trigger this flow in powerapps, the flow runs correctly when connected with Common data service;

    2)if you trigger this flow in powerapps, the flow could not run correctly when connected with Common data service (current environment);

    3)if you run this flow in flow, the flow could run correctly by using these two connectors?

    If so, please notice that:
    1)Common data service connector supports:

    Logic Apps All Logic Apps regions
    Power Automate All Power Automate regions
    Power Apps All Power Apps regions

     

    2) Common data service (current environment) supports:

    Power Automate All Power Automate regions

    This connector is not supported in powerapps.

     

    So I believe the problem is that:
    Common data service (current environment)  connector is not supported in powerapps.

    So if you trigger this flow in powerapps, some problem may occur.

     

    I suggest you use Common data service connector instead of Common data service (current environment)  connector in your flow, since it is supported both in powerapps and power automate.

    Hi @Anonymous,

    The CDS (current environment) connector as @v-yutliu-msft stated is only for Power Automate. So suggest to use the other CDS connector for your canvas apps. I recommend however to keep using CDS (current environment) connector for your flows since you don't have to manually set the environment when you deploy your flows to target environments and the CDS (current environment) connector usually has more updated features than the other one.

    Cheers
