Power Apps and Fix Connection on first use

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by pullesb

Just built 3 standalone/canvas apps using SharePoint as it's datasource. It also has a connection to the office 365 users.

Put all 3 of these apps on a SharePoint page with the power apps web part, but users are getting the "Fix Connection" dialog on almost all 3 of the applications, then they have to hit "Allow". No big deal on the "Allow", but why are they getting the "Fix Connection" dialog (when the click on the "Fix Connection" it does work, but many users will struggle.

See attached.

Thanks!

good question, same here. I wonder what are the possible reasons that lead to a broken connection?

@pullesb I was able to fix the issue on my side by going into edit mode of the App > datasources > remove the connector > add it anew > publish

I've tried all sorts of things, including removing and replacing the connectors and users are still getting the "Fix Connection" message before approving. I know they can click that to fix it, but users are getting confused or thinking it is broken. Is there any other way to fix this?

Thanks!

Ours actually turned out to be a "component" (header) we added that had an Office365Users connection in it, and for some reason, the "customized form" method of using Power Apps with SharePoint had a problem with that. We also ran the powershell script to bypass consent (many articles on this).

Hope this helps!
