Sharepoint Site missing from flow

Like (2) ShareShare

Posted on 17 Oct 2017 03:49:57 by 47

I have a group of Sharepoint sites that do not show up in flow when I have tried to do a number of flows involving them.  About half of the sharepoint sites exist in the dropdown list.

 

I am attempting to create some simple flows such as saving email attachments and syncing 2 sharepoint folders.  

 

I have attempted to use 'add custom value' and paste the link to the site in but that fails in validation when saving the flow.

 

I cannot find other solutions to this so far in the community.

 

Is there a setting somewhere that is affecting this?  These are templated flows and are quite simple.  Any help appreciated.

    Hi

     

    To whomever might make the same mistake as I did regarding this thread;

     

    My issue was that my "Move file" tool was using the wrong connection.

     

    I was attempting to connect to a site which the specific connection (a dev/demo account did not have access to).

     

    Hope I can help somebody in the future that has this same issue.

     

    Cheers!

    Hi,

     

    Any hint to resolve this?  Is it related to permission or setup issue?  I am trying to send out an alert to myself if someone submits a certain value on my Sharepoint List.  However, I'm stuck to this Flow creation -_-  Please help!

    Hello all,

    it is happening to me now.   In first picture, I was trying to modify an existing flow. First step was part of an old flow, it can still see my sharepoints and I can select them.

    But as you can see, in the newly added second step, Get File content 2, it does not see the sharepoints anymore.

    Same for creating a brand new flow, no sharepoints available:

    Any advice? Can it be related to the browser? I just switched from one browser to another ( unistalled the previous one but logged in in everything needed in the new one). Thanks

    Re: Sharepoint Site missing from flow

    I found that the field to enter a site URL is a multi line field. So all my previous attempts were on other lines hidden below the current line. make sure you clear out ALL the characters from all lines of the site address field.

     

    This worked for me.

    I see this thread hasn't been commented on for a few months, but I was having a similar issue while trying to connect to my Sharepoint Site from within the 'New Flow' interface and my search for a solution led me straight here, so I thought I would share my discovery.

     

    When typing or copy/pasting my URL into the 'Site Address' box, the URL would auto trim down to the correct Site URL as if it were connecting, but the site would not appear in the dropdown.  What I figured out was that it was, in fact, correctly connecting to the Site.  The dropdown itself was the issue: it wasn't displaying anything useful, and was covering up the 'List Name' box.  I discovered that when I clicked next to the URL in the 'Site Address' box, as if to type more characters, and pressed Enter, the cursor dropped down to a new line.  I did this 3 times, and saw the 'List Name' box emerge underneath the dropdown.  I then clicked into the 'List Name' box, and there were all the Sharepoint Lists!  Once a list was selected, everything performed as normal, and I was able to click back into the 'Site Address' box to remove the line breaks I had put in (I don't know if they need to be removed, but my OCD would not permit them to stay).

     

    Hope this helps some people out!
