SPO document library is missing Automate menu option

This seems to have started a couple of days ago.

 

In one particular document library we have a flow which is run by selecting the file and clicking on Automate and then the relevant flow. This has worked happily for many weeks.

 

Yesterday I received an email from a user saying that the option is now missing. I could see it but then when I went back it had gone for me as well. I cleared the cache but it is still missing. we are using OOTB All documents view.

 

the Automate option is available on other lists/libraries.

 

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

    DhirenMehtaMSFT it would be useful to know what the root cause was of this incident please. Automate is now available again and we have tested our flows and all is good - But, we do want to know what happened, especially if it was an update or release of some kind from Microsoft. Thanks.

      It seems to be only one library.

      There are only two items in the library.

      It was working on Friday but now it is now.

        It actually is affecting all document libraries in the site. Even this morning another document library had the option but now when I refresh the option has gone. With no files selected the Integrate menu options is there. But when I select a file there is no Automate/Power App option.

    Hi Eddoria,
    Yes we have also experienced this. Was all fine and working Friday afternoon 28/1, but this morning not - had exactly the same issues as you described. We have logged with Microsoft to escalate as staff cannot run approvals, which is high impact.

      Yes we have high impact as well. Hopefully not too long to fix
