A flow trigger failed to execute the flow with version ID....error when trying to batch update contacts

I created several process builder proceeses around check boxes on the contact object.  I wanted to trigger these to update in mass so I created a hidden checkbox field on the contact object called 'Mass Update', set the value to true for all and trying to do an update. I got the error: The record couldnt be saved because it failed to trigger a flow. <br>A flow trigger failed to execute the flow with version ID 30116000000PPKL. <br/> Contact your administrator for help.

I don't have any active conflicting workflow rules on these fields.  When I tested the active processes they all individually worked. Why am I getting this for all 16K contacts i'm trying to update using Jitterbit?

Hi Ashley,

Did you get an email containg this error message and the error caused by reason? it consists of error details. If you can share that so we can help you to resolve the issue.


Sample:
I get this error in the page:
"The record couldn’t be saved because it failed to trigger a flow. 
A flow trigger failed to execute the flow with version ID XXXXXX. 
Contact your administrator for help."

Also, as an admin, I get an email that says:  
"Encountered unhandled fault when running process <lightning process name here>/XXXXXXX exception by user/organization: XXXXXXXXv8/{4}
Cannot submit object already in process.
 
caused by element : FlowActionCall.myRule_1_A1 
caused by: Cannot submit object already in process.

Salesforce Error ID: 616817129-17288 (978718756)."


Thanks,
Pratik

Hi Pratik, 

No I didn't get an email because I was using Jitterbit to do a mass update on all records on the contact object to trigger the flows I'd created. The update returned this error on all the records in the jitterbit error report. That's all it said in Jitterbit : The record couldnt be saved because it failed to trigger a flow. <br>A flow trigger failed to execute the flow with version ID 30116000000PPKL. <br/> Contact your administrator for help.

When I had tested the processes manually on a new record after I created it they were triggering just fine. 

I had ran into this previously and found it was because there was a conflicting workflow rule but that isn't the case this time.  

Not sure how to troubleshoot otherwise to get an email with more details, ideas?

Thanks
Ashley

Hi Pratik,

Is this something I can get help with? Should i just revert to making a bunch of workflow rules instad? Seems like process builder is breaking a lot with these errors. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice out there! 

Thanks
Ashley

I encountered a similar error but later was able to fix it by hit and trial method, what I understood was since Process builder uses Flow to create the processes, a flow will error out if you are trying to refrence a field that is not on the page layout doesnt matter which profile is being used to perform the update(which in turn calls the process builder process). So just make sure you are only refrencing the fields that are on the page that you are trying to update. In my case, I was trying to update some fields on the case page, based upon a particular record type.But there was one field that was not being displayed on the page layout because of the chosen record type, hence I kept getting the error until I removed it from the process update step.Hope this helps if you are in a similar situation

I too encountered a similar problem but later I was able to rectify it by the following e-mail , at the bottom of every mail there will be error caused by reason​

I found that changing the 18 Digit Code in Process Builder to a 15 Digit Code worked for me.

I found a dirty way to get this. Disable and then enable the first process flow. Check the "View Setup Audit trail".  The flow ID is there. Repeat until you find the bad flow  
If you created or enabled the flow in the last 6 months, download the audit trail .csv file and then search the ID.

Hi,
I got this email...please help me
Error element myRule_1_A1 (FlowRecordCreate).
This error occurred when the flow tried to create records: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING: Required fields are missing: [AccountId]. For details, see API Exceptions.

@nandu s 15 well then you should enter all the required fields. Maybe you have created validation rules somewhere along thats making those fields required. Check that out. I was having similar issue with my opportunity not closing and come to find out some of my variables weren't set or assigned. Hope that works for you.
