So i built a flow using the template below. This flow has been working for quite a while previously. But now something has changed and the flow no longer works correctly. The flow does run and it says it has succeeded, but not changes are made to my contacts list in outlook. No new members or edits have been made.
When i got to edit the flow i now see the message in the yellow info bar.
I don't know if this is the cause that has stopped the flow from working correctly. Is it possible that the template used is now too old and has stopped working?
Does anyone have this setup and it is still working for them?
Seems like your Apply to each 4 -loop have nothing to loop and there for your flow never actually does the "Create new contact" -action.
Is it taking the in the "Get contacts - see if we can find record in User's Contact List" -actions output? If so then its clear since that is returning empty array. And like you said you deleted all the contacts then thats what should happen.
So I think maybe the "apply to each 4" -loop is not needed and you should just have the "Create new contact" without it being in side that "Apply to each 4" loop. The flow might have created that loop automatically when you tried to select the dynamic content for the "Create new contact". Remove that loop and use the "Loop through SharePoint List" -current item in the "Create new contact" -action.
Refer to the dynamic content like so:
So write the expression manually to avoid PA forcing the apply to each
Just wirte "item()" and then square brackets and the column that you want to use. Like so: item()['LastName']
In this case the item() and items('Loop_through_SharePoint_List') are the same thing
Based on the expected behavior you describe and the image of your flow, it is working correctly. The no side of your condition shows it is supposed to create a contact and then update their photo. You said you deleted all of your contacts, so shouldn't it go down the no/false side of the condition? The green checkmarks show the path the flow took and that the action was successful.
So here is the supposed completed run below. So at the condition stage when it check to see if a contact exists if it does, then it amends the record. If not then it creates a new contact. Seeing as i deleted all of my contacts to test this it should have recreated them all from the sharepoint list. But judging by the If No route its not doing anything.
That yellow warning bar just indicates you cant use the new designer on that flow.
I don't know why it doesn't let you use the new designer but that shouldn't provide any issues on the flow runs.
Can you check the flow runs that say they succeeded and see if the loop actually did the things its supposed to. Maybe show screenshot of the flow run where you have that loop action open and show the conditions inside it.
Maybe create a new flow from the template and compare every action with the newly created flow to your flow that succeeds but doesn't do what its supposed to, to see if there is some parameters or actions missing. That happened to me long time ago in some actions when switching from the new designer to the old or other way around.
