Hello,
I am having issues with the action 'Get Files' failed. I'm getting the following message:
is saying it does not exist in the term store??? Has anyone ever seen this before?
Any suggestions on a work around would be appreciated.
Can you provide a detailed/expanded screenshot of your Flow so that we may better assist you? A 400 error generally means a formatting or permissions error within your Flow (documentation😞
Flows also fail if a setting in an action of the flow doesn't function as expected. In this case, the error message contains Bad request or Not found, or an error code of 400 or 404 appears.The error message should specify how to correct the failure. You'll need to click or tap the Edit button and then correct the problem inside the flow definition. Save the updated flow, and then click or tap Resubmit to try the run again with the updated configuration.

As the error is referencing the item GUID, you likely have a formatting issue within your Flow. So I'd suggest verifying the format of your Flow and Flow steps.

The flow stops at Get Files, it only starts with the recurrence trigger.
Thanks
Again, we can't really help without seeing an expanded/detailed screenshot of your Flow. This looks to be a formatting issue, meaning what is going on in the form entry boxes that we can't see in the collapsed views of each step.
What options/definitions and/or filters are you trying to call/access from the Get files step? The error failing to find the item you're calling appears to be in the Term store.
You can't update term stores with Flow, you can only read the Label, Path, TermGuid, Value and WssId from the Managed Metadata column or Get file metadata or Get file metadata using path.
Thank you,
I understand it's such a long flow that was created before me. There is so much to it, your probably right that it's a formatting issue. I'm going to just try to recreate my own. Any suggestions on how to move one file to another library, with metadata? with a condition of the file tagged as "processed" and after 30 days.

Check out this blog post by Microsoft MVP Melissa Hubbard - Move a Document From One SharePoint Library to Another Using Flow.
For the 30-days condition, you can add a conditional loop to only apply to each based upon a time-based expression against the last modified date. For instance: Apply if modified date/time is greater than 30 days.
For more, you can review Working with Dates and Times inside of your flows, Use expressions in conditions to check multiple values, and A Visual Explanation of Flow Logical Expressions.
