Run and stop flow depending on sharepoint value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 60

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a SharePoint list where i have automated the change of a field after a period of time using the delay function in Power automate.  

 

Feilds will change from level 1 to level 2 to level 3, incrementing after a set period of time.

 

I have another field that consists of status values 'In Progress' and 'On Hold'

 

Is there any way to stop and start the flow based on the status values.  If the value is changed to On hold then it would stop the timer on the flow.

 

Is there any way to accomplish this?

    You're not really asking to stop the flow - you want the flow to "sleep" until you change the status value.  So - implement a loop that sleeps for  a minute, then checks the status value. If the value is good, exit the loop and go to the next step. if not, continue the loop.

     

    Of course this includes a risk that it will loop forever if you don't provide the status value for the exit condition.
