Power Automate Flow – Run history & limitations

In today’s blog, I am sharing a quick read on how you can export the run history from the Power automate flows & limitations.

Often, we need to check details and compare our flow’s run. It is difficult to compare steps from two flows, we might miss something. But how good it may be to download data and compare. So, let’s see how you can download the run history.

Log in to Power automate flow and the environment. Access your flow’s history via the Run history section. This will give you data from the last 28 days.

Navigate to flow history page by clicking on “All runs”

You will see “Get .csv file” from the top and you will get a notification once your file is ready

Note – It may take a few minutes to generate the .csv file depending upon the amount of data

And depending upon the triggers and actions in your flow, you will get detailed data. Some of the headers include but are not limited to –

Run start time ||  Run end time || Run ID || Run status || Run error message || Run link

Trigger status  || Trigger method || Trigger input ||  Trigger output  || Trigger start time

Limitations –
However, there are a few limitations as of writing this blog –

1. You can only download the first 100 runs depending upon the filter selected (all runs, successful runs, failed runs, etc). Read more here.
2. There is a limit on the size of content that is included in each cell of the .csv file
3. You will only get data for 28 days as per GDPR. Read more here.
