Error calling Child Flow: The server did not receive a response from an upstream server

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Hello everyone!

Maybe someone can help me:

I'm trying to run the Run a Child Flow action, but I always get the error: "The server did not receive a response from an upstream server."

Both flows are in the same solution, the parent flow sees the child flow and I can select it, but in the execution I do not get a response.
I already made the change in the "Run Only Users" option.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I recommend to check your child flow it has failed and it is causing the parent flow to fail as well

    Here is a little more information and a few extra details:

    I do not know if it is normal that the connections within the solution appear off (it is my first time working with solutions)...

    Something else that is new is the way the error information was displayed. I have always seen that the specific action that fails is marked, however, in this case several were marked, I think it is the entire trace stack.
