Anyone available to QC my flow?

Hi all, I have a PowerAutomate flow I created to notify fundraisers when they've been assigned to a record. The flow says it's succeeding but no emails are being sent when I would expect to.

Copilot has been extremely helpful however I'm now in a Copilot circle where it is pointing out things that have already been fixed or bringing up the same areas to correct over and over.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where else I can figure out what's going on, or have the time to take a look at the flow to help out?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jessie

    A few options:

    • DIY + Community: go to the flow's Run History and look at each "action" steps and see where it end up. It is possible there are conditional that branched your flow down a path and did not have the "send email" action. You can post some screenshot here and we can help you identify the issue.
    • User Group: There is monthly Power Automate User Group that you can take your flow to and we will help you diagnose your flow and come out with resolution. I believe May's was cancelled, @Erik Leaver ?
    • Consultant: if you need 1on1 hand-holding type of training to get you more familiar on flow creation and debugging, this is a service I provide too, you can reach out to me at alex.wong@ffxconsulting.co
  • @Alex Wong emailing you from my gmail. @Erik Leaver would love to be invited to the PA User Group as well.

  • Hi Jessie — in my experience when a flow succeeds but doesn't give the result I expect, it's often because there was a step that was skipped (i.e. not failed). It might be that the flow technically succeeded, but it skipped the step where the email was sent.

    Check out the most recent succeeded run in your run history and check the step where you've sent the email. If it has a grey circle, it was skipped; you can open the action to see why. Not sure if that's the issue but it's something that's triped me up more than once!

  • Thank you James!

  • Co-pilot is nearly useless. I de-bug all of my flows using Claude. Just download the legacy package and ask Claude to de-bug. I created a Claude skill to repackage the fixed flow so I can re-import back into PA. You can also create a "coding buddy" skill. Last, Claude in Chrome can take snap-shots of your flow and help you de-bug directly in the browser.
