Power Automate Scheduled Workflows Not Running Offline

Posted on by Michael-9281

I'm new to power automate and sharepoint so I'm slightly confused. I have a workflow that I created to perform some operations on a few sharepoint lists. It works fine when I test it and run it manually. When I set a recurrence trigger to run the workflow automatically, it will not run if my laptop is off. This is frustrating because the purpose of the workflow is to automate tasks so it becomes useless (at least in this instance) if I have to be online manually running the workflow every time. Am I missing something or is it not possible to automatically run a workflow if I'm offline?

@Michael-9281 See Schedule cloud flow trigger automatically based on the given time . it doesn't depends whether you are online or offline. So if possible i request you to share the screenshot of your workflow in edit mode.

I did a scheduled cloud flow like the one in this screenshot. Last night I turned off my laptop and signed out (prior to 7pm) to check if it would run. It didn't run so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong if it was supposed to.screenshot
itll run properly if I test it manually, and will also work on the scheduled flow when I'm online. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

@Michael-9281 as in screenshot it look fine, but still i recommend you to make separate test schedule cloud flow and apply the trigger for every 2 minutes and also logout n turn off your pc. if test flow runs fine then you know there is no issue.
Kindly check the below screenshot for refrence-

Hi,
Having the same issue. My Flow pulls excel document from company Sharepoint and filter info and then send an email. It works perfectly when I test and schedule while the laptop is running. Unfortunately, it doesn't run when I go offline. Below I've included the test screenshot as well as the 1min schedule running perfectly while I'm logged in.
