Two unrelated connection issues

Posted on by 7

I'm new to really utilizing Flow/Power Automate.  I have Outlook.com (personal) and (through that, I guess) a free Onedrive.Live.com account.

 

1) I have 2 semi-working Flows, right now - they both seemed fine, last night but, today, I'm getting the warning about my connections needing to be fixed ("Take a second to reauthenticate...4 of your connections need to be reconnected...").  I cannot see (I guess because of the type of account I have) anything under the left-hand Data > Connections menu - that just spins and shows me nothing.  If I go into my Flow details, one of them shows that all connections are fine.  The other shows that 3 are fine, but there are 2 more that I simply cannot see, so I can't tell if they're okay or not.  If I click the "+2" under Connections on the right side of the detail screen, nothing happens.  If I click "Edit," it tells me I need a premium account.

2) [EDIT - forget this one - I'm assuming it's because my other files are password-protected.]  Today, I'm trying to build a new flow that will initiate from a button press, and the first action is to "Get a row" from an Excel / Onedrive / Personal workbook.  I'm first prompted for the File.  I click through to try to get to the file, but the pop-up only shows me 5 folders and 2 files in a folder that has 9 files and 5 folders.  So - how do I access that file that I don't see?

    Hi @ms_user,

     

    For question 1, if the Flow appears the connection is invalid, you could go to the connection to manage these connections.

    You could find these failed connections in the list, then click the Fix connection to reconfigure the connection:Annotation 2020-05-11 141031.png

    Unfortunately, in the original post, OP wrote:

    I was having the same issue.  I solved my issue by "trusting" the Office 365 site in my anti-tracking app, Ghostery.  Then I logged in again, and could see my connections. 

     

    Because Microsoft uses 3rd party cookies, many ad-blocking extensions don't allow it to work correctly.  You might try disabling (temporarily) any ad-blocking extensions, and then log in again.  I hope that helps!

    Thanks for the tip, but it had no effect, unfortunately.
