Copilot studio when using power automate flow"Error code: SystemError."

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I am working on implementing a flow in copilot studio, to retrieve all your emails from outlook so copilot can summarize them for you. However even though the flow i have made in Power Automate works. The power automate contains this:

Get emails (V3): This action retrieves emails based on specified criteria.

  • Create HTML table: Converts the data from the retrieved emails into an HTML table format.

  • Respond to Copilot: Returns the HTML table to copilot

 

However when i try to use the flow in copilot it return a SystemError. I am thinking this might be an authentication problem, but i dont know.

    Hi , @OSDEN 

    According to your description, you create a flow in Power Automate and it works but not work in PVA?

    If this , can you try to check the connections in the flow are set to Use this connection for each connector, rather than Provided by run-only user, as connections from end users aren't yet supported.

    I have now changed it to be "Use this connection" which is my work email. The power automate flow still works fine and retrieves the email but i still get the error when trying to use the flow in a copilot studio topic. The error that the copilot bot returns is 
    "Something unexpected happened. We’re looking into it. Error code: SystemError."

    Hi , @OSDEN 

    Thanks for your response! I test it in my side , it will return the same error code in my side "SystemError".

    But when i use the custom in "Create html table" action to reduce the return text to copilot it can work.

    In PVA:

    I guess it's probably due to too much content returned, you can try it on your side.
