Hi,
I built a flow using approvals but, sometimes it fails with an error that from my current knowledge, it isn't in my control. I wasn't able to track down what causes it, so i'd like to ask for some help to understand what is happening.
The error message is as follows:
Unauthorized. The request failed. Error code: 'AuthorizationFailed'. Error message: 'No client certificate or authorization header was given.'.
Some details:
- It's happening with a small numbers of approvers;
- The approval is being done through email;
- The step is using "Start and wait for an approval" connector;
- I'm using the default connection;
- I will guide the approver to approve through the flows approval history, but this isn't ideal;
If any other information is needed, I would be glad to answer
Thanks in advance
Hello Team,
@ScottShearer is correct, you might need to contact Microsoft Support but on top of that just use the below KB article provided by Microsoft as a reference since the issue you are facing is UNAUTHORIZED
KB article - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/fix-flow-failures
As per the above article, I think you should try to fix the connection might as well be a connection issue. Just delete the existing connection and create a new one and then test the Approvals with those set of users for which it was failing initially or maybe intermittently.
Always a good thought to try and test out stuff in details before jumping on a ticket with Microsoft, it helps the support engineers as well.
If this reply has answered your question or solved your issue, please mark this question as answered. Answered questions helps users in the future who may have the same issue or question quickly find a resolution via search. If you liked my response, please consider giving it a thumbs up. THANKS!
I suspect that the error is somehow related to the default CDS database used by the approval engine. I suggest that you open a support ticket (or have you M365 admin open the ticket) with Microsoft.
