Scheduled flow if data source has been modified

Posted on by Wez1 37

Morning all

 

Was wondering if anyone has a flow to that'd help 

 

I have a flow on PAD that runs a macro, and want to schedule this every 2 hours

 

Is there anything I can add that'll give it a condition to only run if the the source data has been refreshed/modified since the last run?

    You would need to record and store the time of the last run somewhere, and you would need to define what " if the the source data has been refreshed/modified since the last run?"  means in your context.  Does your data source have a "Last Modified"  field?

    Morning, it doesn't have a last modified field -I take it the data would need a field that suggests that, with a timestamp?

     

    If I do that, what flow would I need to get working with the above please

    One common pattern is to tag the records that you have "seen" as processed. Then for the next flow run you can use a filter to only retrieve rows where that flag is false or null.
