How to stop my flow from looping.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 221

I have multiple flows associated with my sharepoint list. The first flow sends an email notification to the person that is assigned the list item. If there isn't someone assigned initially, I wanted a second flow that sends a notification once it is assigned. To do this I used the "when list item is modified", but now anytime something on the list item is changed it sends out that notifcation. Is there a way I can get it to just do it once at the inital assignment? I have the following put together so far, but it is not working. 

 

Trigger condition for item modified: @equals(triggerBody()?['Loop'],null)

 

I have a Loop Field that when it is empty it should trigger this workflow. If it is not empty it won't, however it is not working right now.

    I set it up as a multi line text field. It is plain text and append changes is turned on.

    Hi @EMA03356 ,

     

    Please try this formula instead:

    @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Loop'],null)

     I've made a test and it worked well.

    I tested it and received the same email notification when making additional changes. My column field looks like this..... could this have something to do with it? It should not trigger the workflow when it says "Assigned".

    I took the append changed out and now it works it looks like.
