504 Gateway Timeout on "When record created in Business Central" trigger

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 160

Hello,

 

I have created a Flow (also tried with Logic App) with a "when record created in Business Central" trigger but I am constantly met with an HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout error when the trigger attempts to run. It ran just fine yesterday. What could be the issue, and what is the fix? 

 

Thanks in advance!

    I also asked about a more permanent fix to this issue, and this was their reply:

     

    We aware of the issue with our current implementation of the delta service, which powers our Flow triggers. We have completed development work on a new trigger system in the connector that utilizes the relatively new webhooks functionality in Business Central. Once this is generally available, this should resolve intermittent trigger timeouts and general unreliability. This will be available once customers are updated to Business Central Update 27 in the coming weeks.

    After investigating, support was able to resolve the issue. I asked what they did to fix it and this was their response:

     

    After investigating the issue they found that the there have been high amount of requests recorded for the trigger in several tenants and because of that the Flow was failing with Gateway Timeout.

    To resolve this issue in the backend by restarting the App Service and now you should be able to use the Trigger effectively.

     

    So if this is affecting you, I would recommend creating a support ticket. The only way I know how to do it is through the PowerApps Admin Center (preview) located here: https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support.

     

    I am not going to mark this as resolved as this is clearly a bug on their end that they need to actually fix for everyone. It seems like any flow we create with this specific trigger will have this problem until they fix it for you.

    I got an update yesterday from the development team. They created a fix that solved the error, however now I got an 400 error saying "ErrorCode: Application_StringExceededLength  The length of the string is 540, but it must be less than or equal to 250 characters."

     

    I replied this to the development team. Haven't got a response yet.

    OK. Well, I had a call with their support team last Friday. They couldn't fix it at that moment, and raised a high severity bug to their development team. They will keep me posted.

    No, it's still happening for us as well. No word from Microsoft on this. Probably due to the connector being in Preview state, but no word on when it goes live.

    Hi,

     

    I ended up contacting Microsoft and they helped me solve the problem in the back-end somewhere.

    All,

     

    EVERY flow is experiencing very similar errors today.  We have been having a teasing of issues since a week ago.  Today, its completely wide spread and DEVESTATING.  MS Ticket is in for the issue.
