Hey there, I've been stuck on this annoying problem for about two days now, I'm trying to figure out why the following is happening:

My flow is simple, get attachments from an email, store them into sharepoint, store the actual email into sharepoint and then adds a row into Dataverse specifying that this has been completed, yet for some gods known reason, this final add to row action will not work no matter what until 30 minutes later into the run, here's what the inside of it looks like right now:

Any ideas? I can't find anything on this anywhere.

Okay looks like the reason was the Store .msg file, which is a "Create file" in sharepoint action, now my question is, why is it taking such a long time to create that file? when I was first testing this a few days back, it didn't seem to be an issue...? its just storing an email file as a .msg file.

Hi @Pavel_NaNoi

I have faced simmilar issue before, but when restarted the flow again it got resolved up not sure why it happens like that at that time.

Yep still happens from time to time though no longer with the email file but rather a 7MB attachment file, is this some weird bug with sharepoint, is it stuck sending a PATCH request or something? My flow finished saving the file in these cases but gets stuck and unable to move onto and save the next file. Can't even time it out unfortunately.

Hi @Pavel_NaNoi

I think may be issue with graph api on which create file action is working. Due to downtime, sometimes API may not work as expected , i think so
