Hello,
I have a flow that takes in form information from Formstack and then creates a CSV file on an Azure server using the File System/Gateway connector. I have a software program called Planet Press running on that Azure machine that picks up the file as soon as Power Automate drops it there, and then sends it into my legacy system. It deletes the file from folder location (C:\power\apps) where Power Automate sent it to.
The flow has been working fine, but occasionally I get an error saying that the flow failed because the file was not created. However, when I go back and look I find that the file was indeed created successfully on my machine and that the Planet Press program picked it up successfully.
Any ideas on what is going on here? I am wondering if maybe the Planet Press program picks up and deletes the file so quickly that when Power Automate checks to see if the file was created, it is no longer there.
Here is a screenshot of the file create step:
