Time out error in Flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 50

Hi team, Could you help me with this.
For some reason the flow stays running but does not complete.
Sometimes it sends Time Out.

What is this due to and how can I resolve it?

    Hi @angeldiaz96 !

    A timeout could be coming from a lot of different places and happen for a lot of reasons 😁, Ican see that you are looping through a list (1) of items, and if I understand well, you "extract" the attachements to a new list (2) ?

    I have few questions :

    Hi @Tristan_D 

    * I don't keep flows running concurrently for this list.

    * Question number two is not very clear to me.

    * The item number can vary from 50 onwards, generally this should be the number.

    But in this case it is 175.
    The attachments in each item should be a maximum of four.

    Thanks for the information @angeldiaz96 ,

     

    Regarding the second question, in a Sharepoint list, you can create indexed columns to improve performances and allow a faster search on your items :

    For the rest, I don't see a specific reason why your flow would struggle at the moment.

    Have you got a run history where the timeout would have happen and can you identify a specific item where it happenned ?
