Flow Checker 502 On Trigger

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I have a simple flow, with the trigger "When an item is created or modified". 


My flow updates the item, sets a flag to prevent an infinite update loop and updates permissions to protect sensitive information and allow access to appropriate support services.

 

After running a total of 13 times successfully, flow checker marks flags my flow has an Error, and my flow no longer triggers at all. I am aware that error 500 or 502 indicates a temporary error, but this has been occurring now for more than 24 hours, with significant business impact.

Creating a flow that uses a manual trigger with the same actions is fine, and this is the work around the business has gone with short term. Although when this is a list that has 100's of submissions a day and requires very locked down permissions to protect sensitive information, manually triggering the flow is not a good solution and cannot be sustained. 

 

I have also created numerous test flows that have much simpler functionality, and after running successfully a handful of times, they all get flagged with the same issue by the flow checker. 


EDIT: This has been occurring consistently from 16 Feb 11:05AM (latest failure was 18th Feb 3:34PM)

    @generic_name  are you using a trigger condition to avoid flow infinite loop?

    Hi @generic_name ,

     

    Have you removed any columns from your list view but not removed from sharepoint action ? Based on error you are receiving this could be one of reason . Please check this. If this does not work I would suggest try changing your environment and see if it works on different environment.

    Hi all, thanks for the replies

    @annajhaveri I have one flow with a trigger condition as below,

    generic_name_0-1613684148358.png

    and a duplicate of that flow that uses an if condition to exit early, rather than a trigger.

    Both of these flows have the same error. This field definitely exists and contains data.

    @anupam8555 there have been no changes to the list structure for weeks, the failures started 2 days ago, so I am certain this is not related to structure. Unfortunately I only have the one environment to use.

    Hi @generic_name ,

     

    Is it possible for you to post your structure of list vs raw input in the flow at 14th position where your flow is flagged with error ? 

     

    Thanks

    Hi @anupam8555 

     

    I have cleaned out any identifying info (and collapsed all objects) from the output data when the list was last triggered.

    }

     


    I currently have an open ticket with microsoft regarding this issue. After trying a few of the 'temporary fixes' recommended by them, creating a new identical flow using the 'Save As' option results in a working flow. It is still unclear what is causing the initial issue.

    Hello,

    We have the same problem: 502 Bad Gateway. Do you still have it ?

    Thanks!
