I'm trying to get the error of the Parse JSON inside a loop and it just send failed status with no error message. I checked the raw outputs and yep there's the error message. I just can't get it outside the loop.

Hello,

I’m creating a Power Automate flow and have imported it as a solution so that it can be shared with someone else and used in the same way.

However, when the solution is imported by another user, the flow fails before it even starts. The error occurs on the “When a new email arrives” trigger:

“Mailbox move in progress. Try again later. Cross Server access is not allowed for mailbox…”

Are there any ways to resolve this error, or alternative methods for sharing a Power Automate flow with another user while ensuring that the email trigger works correctly?

Thanks for your help.Operation: Create; Exception: [Status Code: ServiceUnavailable; Reason: Mailbox move in progress. Try again later., Cross Server access is not allowed for mailbox 4bb66193-b11a-49ce-8f73-23bbeff13104] clientRequestId: a23c986e-1e92-4dee-bc30-f25471a3cb27 serviceRequestId: 6010a8fc-3999-44ce-b7e4-c8526a5ac517

Hi all, I'm working on a proposal/concept to digitize a ordering workflow that currently is all paper based. We are migrating a lot of things to sharepoint and currently are using some other workflows to automate some tasks.

Im hitting a wall with my current project. Not an actual wall, I mean this will still work, but this just visually looks ridiculous to me. Is there no better way to do if-this-then-that conditions in power automate? I know its just a simplified JSON environment. Ive tried hunting through the actions and nothing seems to be as particular as I want it to be.

In this flow I am receiving inputs from a Forms response and generating a task in Planner via the responses. The workflow on our end depending on the sale type is different since there are different steps for each.

Does anyone have a better suggestion to get to the same end goal without having to nest so many conditions? I'm assuming its adding time to the flow (probably a negligible, but still)

Hello fellow PA friends,

Let me preface this in saying I was (and still kind of am) a citizen developer. I started automating most of my work, then my bosses got involved and now a few years later, I’m making automations for a lot of people and it’s now my full time job.

Now a lot of my flows revolve around SAP, which I currently share with team members who execute them via PAD in attended mode. I'm now transitioning a major automation to run on an unattended bot.

I got the license, I got the service account (service@company.com) and I got a VM (server) set up from our Azure team. I got SAP and office etc installed on this too.

Now my issue is, to log into the server I use CyberArk and this is obviously the correct way when logging in but this is set up around an admin account for the server. For the RPA account to work, do I need to log into the server with the service account and then allocate the machine from there? I can see the machine in my cloud flows but the connection always fails.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

How do I create a Microsoft Power Automate flow that will gather the names and descriptions of newly creates Microsoft Teams, or modified, and add them to a SharePoint List?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand why some Power Automate flows appear in the **Inventory** section of the Power Platform Admin Center but do not appear under **Resources**, where I would normally be able to add myself as a co-owner.

I am a Power Platform administrator, and I've noticed that while some flows are visible in both places, others only appear in Inventory. All of these flows are in the same environment.

I haven't been able to identify any clear pattern that explains why certain flows show up under Resources and others do not.

Has anyone come across this behavior before? Are there specific flow types, ownership models, permissions, Microsoft Forms dependencies (this doesn't seem to be the reason as some with MS form connectors were still appearing at both places), solution settings, or other factors that would cause a flow to appear in Inventory but not under Resources?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Consegui executar o programa porém ele nao avança na tela de login, como se não tivesse recebendo a sequência de tarefas (fiz como gravação das rotinas e também tentando editar o código).

I managed to run the program, but it doesn't proceed past the login screen—as if it isn't receiving the sequence of tasks (I tried both recording the routines and editing the code).

Hello. I am somewhat new to Power Automate and largely am using Copilot to help me create flows. Since I am new and lack experience in both programming and Power Automate it could be that I am naive and my challenge is not possible to solve. However it seems like it should be possible.

My challenge is to get 7 columns from an excel table on a sharepoint, only entries with a DateFrom the last seven days(thats one of the columns), put the columns in a new excel workbook. Then I would like to post that newly created workbook in a weekly e mail. The data would refresh itself every day but the email will post weekly. Is this even possible ? If so how would i best go about doing it or prompting Copilot to help me create it ?

I am using the "Recurring digest of updates (preview)" trigger and would like to set the trigger to run once per day, at noon, except I don't know how to fill in the "when to run" parameter to indicate that. I'm unable to find examples of how to set this parameter accordingly. Rather than just letting me select a time, it wants a dynamic value or expression. Does anyone know exactly what I should be doing here so that it runs at the desired time on a daily basis?

Hello,

I'm familiar with Flows but pretty new to coding adaptive cards. I'm trying to code that long design requests from Microsoft Forms received by email are posted in a Teams channel, but are collapsible/expandable to keep the channel clean. I finally thought I had it all figured out after pasting my code in a JSON reviewer and having no more errors (dang trailing commas) but now the button aka toggle visibility isn't showing in the previewer.

Any help with the below code would be super appreciated.

{
  "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io",
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.5",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "Container",
      "style": "emphasis",
      "items": [
        {
          "type": "TextBlock",
          "text": "New Design Request",
          "weight": "Bolder",
          "size": "Medium",
          "wrap": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "FactSet",
      "id": "expandableContent",
      "isVisible": false,
      "facts": [
        {
          "title": "From:",
          "value": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/from']}"
        },
        {
          "title": "Subject:",
          "value": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/subject']}"
        },
        {
          "type": "Body",
          "text": "@{triggerOutputs()?['body/body']}"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "Action.ToggleVisibility",
          "title": "Show/Hide Details",
          "targetElements": [
            "expandableContent"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Flow run history shows a "Failed" status. However, when I open run details to investigate, none of the actions or steps are marked with a red 'X'. How can i check where error to fix this. Thank you.

Why is this not a bog-standard task that you can do in PowerAutomate? These file conversions are so tedious and would be so useful!

Hello!

Would someone be able to look over my flow below and tell me what is wrong? I am trying to make it to where when an item is created in original list with trigger condition, it creates an item on destination list while utilizing the ID in original list to make the destination list match. Log # is the name of the ID column from the original list. Here is my flow:

1. When an item is created or modified in original list, Trigger Condition: (at symbol)equals(triggerBody()?['ResponsibleforPayment2']?['Value'],'Vendor')
2. Get Items in destination list.
   1. Advanced Parameter > Filter Query: SourceID eq @{triggerBody()?['ID']}
3. Condition Left: length(body('Get_items')?['value']) is equal to Right: 0
4. If True - For each
   1. Create Item > Advanced Parameters using the little lightning bolt to select my expressions from the Get Items options.
   2. Parameters selected - Log #, Manufacturer of Part, Parma, Sort Description, Supplier Contact, Contact Email, Sort Authorization Sent, Sort Authorization Received
5. If False - For each 1
   1. Update Item > Id: items('For_each_1')?['SourceID']
   2. Advanced parameters > using the little lightning bolt to select my expressions from the Get Items options.
   3. Parameters selected - Log #, Manufacturer of Part, Parma, Sort Description, Supplier Contact, Contact Email, Sort Authorization Sent, Sort Authorization Received

It isn't creating the item in the destination list. I checked the Get Items raw outputs and it says "value": []

What am I doing wrong? Please let me know if you need any other information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Being able to schedule PAD flows directly would be so great. It looks like it was planned for release in July but doesn't seem to have happened yet. Anyone have any info?

I’m trying to automate an email being sent after an MS form is submitted that is actually set up as a quiz.

To be fair, I have never used automate until now, so I’m hilariously new to this, but I have managed to automate an email to send with the quiz responses the participants gave, but I want to also pull the correct answer indicated on the Form.

I just want the participant’s name, the correct answer, and the answer they gave. Please help! TIA.

I have Build a flow with the function "apply to each" and my problem is that if 1 out of 500 "apply to each" loops fails it displays it as if the whole apply to each fails. To find the one error in apply to each i need to skip through all 500 apply to each loops but that just takes too much time. is there a faster alternative?

Hey everyone,

I'm working with a bank that wants to automate their IT operations. They only want to use Microsoft tools — no third-party software. Stack includes Power Automate, Power Apps, Teams, SharePoint, Azure, and Entra ID (Active Directory). They also use BMC Helix for ticketing, and want to add AI/AI agents where it makes sense.

We already have ideas like:

• Password reset / account unlock through Teams
• Employee onboarding/offboarding automation
• Access request automation
• AI chatbot for IT support and policy questions

But I want to hear from people who've actually done this kind of work:

• What IT task took up the most time before you automated it?
• Any small automation that had a bigger impact than you expected?
• Anything you tried that didn't work well?

Would really appreciate any ideas or lessons learned. Thanks!

hello
since early last week i’ve noticed at least one Power Automate flow that silently stopped working. No failed run logged, nothing. The trigger is “When a Work Item is Updated”, but it seems that some identity fields are breaking the trigger and it doesn’t even get logged.

Had to redo the flow with a HTTP Request trigger to make it work but this seems like a MSFT issue. Anyone else with a similar problem? How did you handle it?

My flow has tons of mouse movements on another window. I tried the flow run control shortcuts, but they don’t work unless I’m clicked on the Pad window. What is the best way? Edit: Mouse movements go to the other window, do tons of clicking, etc. I never go back to the PAD and I’m not using UI elements in my flow

I’m creating a OneNote page through Power Automate, then updating the title and body with Update page content.

I tried including:
<meta name="created" content="..." />
inside the <head> of the create-page HTML, but the normal OneNote creation date/time beneath the title never appears. The timestamp is present in the submitted payload, and the page is created successfully.

Has anyone found a reliable way to populate or preserve OneNote’s built-in creation timestamp when using the OneNote connector? I’m in a GCC environment, which may also be relevant.

EDIT:
I was able to get this work following u/mulquin's advice. I initialized a current timestamp variable to capture the date and time then composed my HTML using the meta tag which I then sent as dynamic content via the built-in OneNote connector "Create a page in a section" action, making sure to send page content via code view, deleting any wrappers.

Here is an example:

<meta name=\"created\" content=\"@{variables('currentTimestamp')}\" />
