Cannot exit 'do until' loop (waiting for a ClickDimensions email in Dynamics to send or fail)

(0) ShareShare

Hello all,

 

Here's my situation: I have a flow which builds a ClickDimensions email (in Dynamics) and then schedules it to send immediately. I then have a 'do until' loop which keeps checking the status of the email until it either sends or fails. (ClickDimensions usually takes at least 10–20 seconds to send an email.) There is then logic further down the flow depending on whether the email sent or failed.

 

My issue is: the flow gets stuck in the 'do until' loop and never comes out of it. I can't figure out what the issue is — I've looked at other posts in this forum and made sure I'm assigning the value the loop is checking to a variable, which gets updated each time the 'do until' iterates. But the flow still gets stuck.

 

Here's the relevant section of the flow. The 'Emails' variable seen at the start is an array containing 3 Dynamics GUIDs:

    Nevermind! I realised the 'do until' loop is actually working perfectly — I was supplying the wrong values in the OR logic. 🤦🏻‍♂️

     

    Dynamics returns an integer for that particular field, not a string.

    Hi Rich,

     

    Its great that you were able to solve this issue on your own. We have some documentation on limitations of the "Do Until" action also if you would like to review those.
