Here we have developed a designer workflow using SharePoint designer 2013 and deployed to SharePoint Online site. Then when we trigger the workflow for one item, we got the above error.

In the workflow, we were using Update item action and we were updating an item in another list. The error was coming when the Update item action happening.

The problem was happening because there was no record presented in the list, so our workflow was not able to update any item. First, the list will not have any item, we added the item and it started working fine.
