Resubmissions Error in Power Automate Flows

Resubmissions Flow

Are you surpurised by the error message “Flow run resubmissions are disabled for instant flows. Please contact your tenant admin to enable support” in your flow resubmission?

Resubmissions error

This is due to a new Microsoft feature update that disables resubmission at the tenant level.

The new setting for resubmitting flow runs initiated by instant triggers will start rolling out on January 13, 2025, and is expected to be available in all regions by the end of January 2025. Power Platform administrators can follow the instructions in this section to enable all users to resubmit flow runs initiated by instant triggers. Other trigger types are not affected by this change.

To enable flow run resubmission for flows initiated by instant triggers, you have to run few PowerShell commands.

First make sure that you have installed Powershell for Power Platform.

Steps-

  • Open the Windows PowerShell App.
  • Sign in to your tenant account-
                  Add-PowerAppsAccount
  • Retrieve and store your tenant settings in TenantSettings-
                 $tenantSettings = Get-TenantSettings
  • Check Tenant settings-
                $tenantSettings.powerPlatform.powerAutomate

Resubmissions Option

Due to a setting configured by Microsoft as ‘True’, resubmission of flows is not permitted in Power Automate. This should be set as ‘False’.

  • Set the powerPlatform.powerAutomate.disableFlowRunResubmission flag to False, to allow flow run resubmissions for cloud flows initialized by instant triggers.
               $tenantSettings.powerPlatform.powerAutomate.disableFlowRunResubmission= $False
               Set-TenantSettings -RequestBody $tenantSettings

Resubmissions Option

After setting this as ‘False’ You will be able to resubmit your flows.

There is also an option in the Power Platform Admin Centre where you can turn this setting On/Off. Though this setting is hidden but you can access via following url-

Resubmissions Setting in PP

 

I am still trying to understand the usefulness of this new feature. Since everyone will likely enable it at the tenant level, I am wondering what the point of the feature is. I believe it would be more useful if this setting could be turned on or off at the user level instead.
