Hello,

I created a flow for move files from one folder to another folder (from folder "New" to folder "Pending"), when I tried to test, it take long and gave me this error message:

"Flow run time out because the starting action was not performed. Please try again" Did I missing something?, Please help. Attached are the screenshot of my flow. Thank you.

The flow will only trigger when a file is created in a folder, and it will copy the newly created file from one folder to another folder.

When you clicked on test, I think you didn't create a file in the SharePoint folder due to which the flow went into time out state.

After clicking on test, try creating a new file and it will work as expected.

If you want to move your existing files from one SharePoint folder to another, you have to create a flow on your own with a schedule trigger which will run at specified time to move files.

If the the information shared helps you, please consider giving a thumbs up 👍 and mark solution as resolved.
