Desktop Error : Get file content using path

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hello Everyone,

Current Version: 2.40.157.24023

I have a flow which accesses an excel file in SharePoint. When desktop flow calls for the SharePoint file it receives an error. This is happening 3 out of 5 times.

 

This issue keeps repeating. I've seen couple posts for early last year which says it is supposed to be fixed, but I'm still facing this error.

Did anyone else face this issue? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Where are these flows running? Are they on an virtual machine or your personal laptop? Have you tried testing them with different internet connections?

    Hello

    flow is running on a Virtual Machine,

    This issue occurs in all the three scenarios.

    1. when we run from cloud flow
    2. when we run from the desktop flows screen
    3. when we run by opening the flow

    Have you attempted to run the same flow from a different machine and noticed the same issue?

     

    Additionally, please try running the same flow from a different network to see if any security or firewall settings might be blocking your backend API calls.

     

    If none of these steps resolve the issue, please consider raising a ticket with Microsoft, as many individuals are encountering various issues with SharePoint/OneDrive online packages.
