Admins can create [data loss prevention (DLP)](/power-platform/admin/wp-data-loss-prevention) policies that can act as guardrails to help prevent users from unintentionally exposing organizational data. DLP policies enforce rules for which connectors can be used together by classifying connectors as either **Business** or **Non-Business**. If you put a connector in the **Business** group, it can only be used with other connectors from that group in any given app or flow.
31

If your flow violates a DLP policy, it's suspended, causing the trigger to not fire. To know if your flow is suspended, try to edit the flow and save it. The flow checker reports it if the flow violates a DLP policy. Your admin can change the DLP policy.

If you expect the flow to run but it didn’t run, verify if it shows the trigger check was skipped at that time. If the trigger check was skipped, it means that the trigger condition wasn't met for the flow to trigger. Verify the flow the inputs and trigger conditions to confirm if you're using the latest configuration to trigger the flow.
