Why is my flow failing with a 403 Error: “Paid plan is required to use Salesforce workflows”?

Why am I seeing a 404 error with the message “Something went wrong”?
Salesforce flows using CloudFiles actions might fail and produce the following generic error sometimes: An apex error occurred: cldfs.CloudFilesException:{"statusCode":404, "message":"Something went wrong"}.This usually indicates that the Salesforce flow attempted to access a resource (such as a file or folder) that doesn’t exist or isn't accessible in the connected external storage.

Why is an admin approval required when connecting to SharePoint?

Why do I get context user license failure in Salesforce automation?
CloudFiles users may encounter automation failures when Salesforce flows, process builders, or other automation attempt to run CloudFiles actions.

Why do I get "Email Not Verified” error when connecting Salesforce to CloudFiles
This error may appear when connecting CloudFiles with Salesforce, particularly in sandbox environments, if the Salesforce user’s email is not verified.

Why do my file uploads in Experience Cloud fail?

Why is my failed flow running multiple times?
When a flow fails in Salesforce, it automatically retries several times over increasing intervals (15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs). This can trigger CloudFiles actions multiple times and generate repeated error notifications. There is no setting to disable this behavior. To reduce impact, test flows thoroughly before using them in production. Read More ->
Why do I get "Invalid Refresh Token” error in flows?
This error occurs when a CloudFiles action in a Salesforce flow fails because the authentication token for the connected storage provider has expired or become invalid. As a result, CloudFiles cannot access the storage service, causing the flow to fail. Read More ->
Why are my Salesforce-CloudFiles flow actions not triggering even though the flow is configured correctly?
Sometimes, Salesforce flows that previously worked correctly with CloudFiles suddenly stop executing certain actions — such as copying files, processing documents, or triggering any other flow actions, even though everything appears to be configured correctly. In these cases, events may be trgiggered, but follow-up flow actions fail to run as expected. These flows often continue to work correctly in one Org (such as a Dev or Sandbox environment), but fail in another (Production), without generating any visible errors in Salesforce or CloudFiles. Read More ->
Why am I seeing “System.CalloutException: You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out” error?
Salesforce enforces a restriction where external API callouts cannot occur after uncommitted database operations within the same transaction. If a CloudFiles action (like folder creation or document generation) is placed after a DML step in a flow, Salesforce will throw the error “System.CalloutException: You have uncommitted work pending.” This is a platform limitation, not a CloudFiles-specific issue.

Why aren’t Thumbnails showing in my LWC component?
If thumbnails are not showing in your Lightning Web Components, it’s usually because the required URLs are not marked as trusted. To fix this, add https://*.svc.msto Salesforce Trusted URLs with the img-srcoption enabled. Go to Setup > Security > Trusted URLs, create a new entry, and save. This will allow thumbnail images to load correctly in your component. Read More ->
Why are all my users seeing admin settings?
