Cannot turn on flow in solution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

 

I built a powerapp using the new power automate pane in powerapps to build a flow inside Powerapps.

 

Everything was built inside a solution. 

 

I exported the solution as unmanaged to my test environment and when I try to access my flow inside Powerapps I get an error to say that I need to remove the flow which I did.

 

When I try add the flow again it tells me the flow is off and that I must turn it on.

 

I went to the flow in the solution and tried to turn it on but then got this error:

 

Flow client error returned with status code "BadRequest" and details "{"error":{"code":"InvalidOpenApiFlow","message":"Flow save failed with code 'InvalidRequestContent' and message 'The request content is not valid and could not be deserialized: 'The 'id' property 'subscriptions/427976e2-4271-4308-afb8-d28d53a6ad06/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/westeurope/runtimes/europe-002/apis/sharepointonline/connections/' under 'properties.connectionReferences.shared_sharepointonline.connection' is not valid.'.'."}}".

What am I doing wrong?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Try to open the flow and  do 'save as'  and create it as a new flow. Now you should be able to turn it on.

    Also refer this article.

    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/power-automate-docs/issues/216

    Else I suggest to raise a support ticket.

    Hi @joe_hannes_col ,

     

    Thank you for your help! I haven't worked with connection references yet.

     

    I'm going to read up on it and will try this.

     

    Thank you very much!

     

    Regards,

     

    Daniel

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Sounds like the connection reference is not set properly. Could you open your flow in Edit mode and have a look at the action(s) using SharePoint?

    Could you try and switch your action to another connection reference, or create a new one in the target environment?
