How to access on premise SharePoint site with flow?
I am using SharePoint enterprise 2013. I have installed the on-premise data gateway, this appears to be functioning with all ports open. When I open flow, I connect to the data gateway and sign in successfully. Then when I type in the url of my SharePoint site I receive the error: We are unable to find the site address.
This article walks you how to install, configure and test the new On-Premises gateway with a SharePoint environment. In this example a SharePoint 2016 on-premises environment is used, however, the same can be done with 2013 as well.
In this scenario the SharePoint on-premises environment did have internet access, however, it was accessible only via the internal network. The gateway connection to the PowerApps and Flow was successfully using the on-premises gateway connection. You have the option to delete existing connections that you have created.
Where can I see the status of my flow workflows?
The status of the workflows is not available for viewing on your on-premises SharePoint list. You can have a Flow workflow built but its activity cannot be viewed in the lists’ workflows as shown below. The activity of Flow workflows is available for viewing on the Flow website’s Activity page.
