Flows taking days to run

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I created a simple Flow that sends an email when an item is created in a SharePoint List.  Usually the Flow runs quickly with no issues.  But recently several of the submissions have been taking 2 to 3 days to run, while others are running in seconds.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so do you know of a solution to fix the problem?

    Hi @Anonymous , in my case my flows were taking a long time because I was not using OData filter query with "Get Items" action from SP list. On this page it explains how to use the Filter Query: https://sharepains.com/2018/11/12/sharepoint-get-items-odata-filter-query/#:~:text=An%20OData%20filter%20query%20can%20optimize%20your%20flows,find%20yourself%20many%20times%20dealing%20with%20list%20items

    I hope it helped you.

    Please post a screen shot of your Flow.  That will make it much easier to assist.
