Posted on by JMUSharePoint

I'm testing a flow I have created the when a button is pushed, it will get items from one SharePoint list, look to see if a string contains specific text and if so, create an item in another SharePoint list. The flow checker doesn't return any errors but when I run the flow I get the message " This flow doesn't need additional input to run .... Location services must be enabled to run this flow. I am not gathering any location data from the flow. How do i resolve this error?

Button flows gather a lot of information when they are triggered. One of which is location.
You might want to review this document with the information that is gathered.

I don't believe it can be avoided. Not sure on that one if anyone else can chime in on it.

I'm having the same issue. I looked at Windows 10 setting and the location is in fact turned on (See Image)

I just deleted the trigger and recreated it and it worked fine. I think I selected "city" in the original trigger, which comes from some out-of-the-box location property and maybe that's why it was demanding the location services. Once I recreated without using "city" it was fine.

Hi! I just went through the same issue, for something as basic as getting the ID of a Planner... can't understand in which way location should be needed for that. I tried with a different browser and the pop-up requesting access appeared again, so I answered yes to enable location access and it worked. Probably the configuration will not be related to windows but to the browser.

Since I can alternatively manual trigger Flow by Send eMail with Options to myself, I do not understand why Manual Trigger requires Location Services per se; as per MS Commmity advise, please vote if you find following idea is a way out..

I deleted the trigger step and then added it again and that worked.

Same solution for myself. Removed and added the trigger again and it worked. I expected to have to re do my flow but everything stayed 🙂

Thanks for the help. How to use same trigger when my location service cannot be enabled as per company policy which could be typical Enterprise environment ?

My previous search found one reason for location service enabled is security ; but when same flow can be triggered by locationless method such as email to myself, prompted my question why location service needed for manual trigger?

Also, even if I can enable location serivce, is it intentional that one need to add the trigger again as proper procedure ?
