Hi all,

I am facing a very random of 504 gateway timeout error in Send an HTTP request to SharePoint.

Basically the action is for creating a subsite in Shatepoint site.

We successfully ran 100+ flows having this action

But now this error comes up and comes in a specific time like its ran suceessfully in the morning to evening then floes failed in night and then its again working fine in the midnight in my timezone UTC +5.

Then after investigating I set the retry policy to default to if the timeout error occurred it will get the response, but gives no fruitfull result.

When i am facing the 504 exception my subsite is created but the response of the newly subsite is not getting from server and its gives me gateway timeout.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem??

I don't know of any solution for this in this scenario. The issue is one of timing. The call to create the subsite is timing out before the server finishes building the site. Its intermittent because the timing is dependent on the current load on the servers in the cloud. My only suggestion would be to decrease the amount being done in the one call. For example, have a call to create the basic subsite and then another call to apply any customizations.

@Pstork1 can you please can I apply the custom template after the subsite has been created?
from power automate
The Custom template creates from the Save site as a template.

I don't know whether it can be applied later or not.
