Automate Trigger Issues with a List in Sharepoint.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have two flows set up to connect to one list in Sharepoint:-

 

  1. Send a customized email when a new SharePoint list item.
  2. Send a customized email when a SharePoint list item is updated.

Flows No.2 and Flow No.1 are identical apart from the trigger.

 

I had both flows working fine, but Flow No.1 has stopped working and I can't understand why. If I run test in "Automatically" and select one of last triggers it works fine.

 

When test in manual and I add a new item in my list, it does not trigger.

 

Trigger Codes below for your Reference, I think its an issue with the List but I am drawing blanks.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Code in Flow No.1 is as below:-

{
  "type": "OpenApiConnection",
  "inputs": {
    "parameters": {
      "dataset": "https://~~~~~~~~~ouk.sharepoint.com",
      "table": "~~~~~-80d8-403e-a5da-b3a04659efa0"
    },
    "host": {
      "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_sharepointonline",
      "connection": "shared_sharepointonline",
      "operationId": "GetOnChangedItems"
    }
  },
  "recurrence": {
    "frequency": "Minute",
    "interval": 5
  },
  "splitOn": "@triggerOutputs()?['body/value']",
  "metadata": {
    "operationMetadataId": "~~~~~aa1-b11e-445f-a5d2-bb46e756929e"
  }
}

 

Code in Flow No.2 is as below:-

{
  "type": "OpenApiConnection",
  "inputs": {
    "parameters": {
      "dataset": "https://~~~~~~~~~ouk.sharepoint.com",
      "table": "~~~~~-80d8-403e-a5da-b3a04659efa0"
    },
    "host": {
      "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_sharepointonline",
      "connection": "shared_sharepointonline",
      "operationId": "GetOnNewItems"
    }
  },
  "recurrence": {
    "frequency": "Minute",
    "interval": 5
  },
  "splitOn": "@triggerOutputs()?['body/value']",
  "metadata": {
    "operationMetadataId": "~~~~~aa1-b11e-445f-a5d2-bb46e756929e"
  }
}

    OK so I have been playing around with this and I have found out why it does not trigger when a new item is added.

     

    If the new list item has an attachment It does not trigger

    If I add an item with an attachment it will not trigger.

    If I update that has an attachment my Flow No. 1 triggers OK

     

    So new items with an attachment is the issue with my Trigger, any ideas why please?
