ongoing 429 errors

Still causing issues since Friday, my flows are running ok it seems but I can't tweak them as the excel add row step generates 429 error and demands I define the row to add to.

Does anyone from MS read this sub, and is a fix being worked on?

Plaud to-do export keeps creating duplicate Planner tasks

I have a flow watching a OneDrive folder for a Plaud todo list from my weekly planning meeting.

It parses the PDF, pulls out tasks, then creates them in Planner. First was fine, but then people gave status updates on tasks that already existed. Plaud picked some of that up in the new to-do export, and the flow happily created those as fresh Planner tasks again.

I’m adding a dedupe step before task creation now. The part I’m still not happy with is where the already exists check should live.

Right now I’m comparing the parsed Plaud tasks against open Planner tasks for that meeting, and where did you keep the source of truth?

All of my connections failed on 1st July

I happily logged on to work on Wednesday morning, expecting all my usual month-end stats reports, etc, but I had about 10 emails telling me my flows had failed because of a critical connection issue. I obviously went into Power Automate to revalidate them all, but every flow that then ran for the first time that day also failed and I had to re-revalidate. Did anyone else get this? It's quite disconcerting, I could have been on leave without a hint...

When file is added to Sharepoint site, email file as attachment.

My experience with Flow is pretty limited. I have a flow that emails a csv file whenever it is added to a sharepoint site that has worked without issue for a few years. Now for some reason, the csv file comes through as just an octet stream instead of the actual data. Has anyone run into this issue? I found a few posts online with similar issues, but I’m not sure I understand how to implement the solutions offered. I have tried toggling “infer file type” from yes to no, but that made no difference.

Outlook > Planner Automation

Hello, how are you?

I am trying to create an automation in Power Automate to generate Planner tasks from emails received in my Outlook inbox.

I saw some tutorials showing how to create a trigger when an email is received in a specific folder. However, this model does not really fit my workflow, because I would prefer not to create a dedicated folder just for Planner.

My idea is to keep the emails in my general inbox and, based on the category assigned to the message, have Power Automate identify that category and automatically create a task in Planner.

I tried creating a loop in the workflow so that it would wait until the email was categorized and then create the task, but I was not able to make it work properly.

I am new to creating flows in Power Automate, so any guidance on the best way to configure this process would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Post Card in a chat or channel issues

I am trying to get a message into teams when triggered and it's giving me more grief than it should 😫 I'm also probably just being dense.

I know it tells me what to do and that I need to change the type, but WHERE do I do that? I can't edit the JSON.

How are we handling logs and errors?

Hi all!

I’ve been using Flow for a while now, but feel like I could use some community advice. How are you all handling your logs in larger environments?

Currently, I have consistently kept Try/Catch scopes with run after configured. I’ve tried various iterations of posting messages to teams, and have landed on using adaptive cards with error detail and acknowledgment buttons/links to the failed run etc as well as failed runs logged to Dataverse.

I’m considering starting to log both successes and errors, and lifting the whole logging and alerting process to Grafana/Loki/Alloy. Ive seen people using Grafana alerts to trigger teams notifications via flow, but not anything related to logging back to Grafana as of yet.

Does anyone have any other ideas or experiences to share?

Email Attachment (clad) to OneDrive - what am I missing?

Title should be Email Attachement (xlsx)*

I receive an email every day with an excel file. The file name includes a timestamp of the report. I need to save this file to OneDrive and change the name so the file is overwritten every day. I have tried a few times but either 1. the file in OneDrive is not an excel but an empty document or 2. the file is not able to be opened from OneDrive. What step did I skip?
