Flow keeps repeating and sending email

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have created a SharePoint list for dependencies that records both the Owner (person asking for the item) and the Deliverer (person due to provide the item). It also records the previous values in Owner-previous and Deliverer-previous fields.  

I've then created a flow that sends an email if either of these fields change by comparing to the 'previous' fields. After the email is sent the previous fields are Updated to the current value so it does not get triggered again. However it keeps repeating and sending the emails. Help please!

    You have created an infinite loop since your flow is triggered by an update action and you also do an update in the flow. There are many posts in the forums for preventing infinite loops, this is one of them Solved: Re: Preventing an endless loop - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
