Error saving power automate flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

While saving flow using PAD I get error saying 

An error occurred while communicating with the Microsoft cloud services. Try again and if the issue persists contact your administrator.

1)I ended all Outlook connections

2) I set CertificateRevocationCheck to 0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\Global

 

Why can't Microsoft be clear about whats failing?

    Hi @PareshV 

     

    see whether re-adding outlook 365 actions make it enabled to save again ?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Nived

    I did not understand I have not made any changes to flow still it gives connection error.

    It has something to do with connectivity because it does not allow me save even if there are no changes in the flow.

    If you see link https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Cannot-save-flow/m-p/1254702

    There are others having this issue and getting very nubies replies like check internet connection etc.

    I have a paid premium account in GCC and not able to save. when I try to use portal to log ticket it says only org admins can add tickets. Please help there is my image in other reply. This has to be a very common issue.

    Not sure around the exact issue- but if you haven't made any changes to the flow- just close it and open again and see saving again helps ?

     

    @Deenuji  any thoughts on this ?

    I suspect that your organization's proxy may be blocking incoming and outgoing requests to Power Automate cloud services, which could be why you are receiving the "The underlying connection was closed" error. ''

     

    Please submit a ticket to Microsoft for assistance on this issue.

    Thanks Deenuji,

    I have already contacted network team with all urls in gcc cloud. We already use blacklisting and they are all particularly opened up. I am at loss.
