Have flow trigger only once per SharePoint list item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

Hi there,

 

I have a SharePoint list that collects initial review dates, final review dates, and other pieces of information for various records. I have created 2 flows, one for the initial review date and one for the final review date. The initial review date should only update once when the record reaches a specific record status. The final review date should update multiple times as the record status changes over time. 

 

I am having some trouble with the initial review date flow. I tried using a trigger condition such as "@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{VersionNumber}'],'2.0')" on the trigger step "When an item or a file is modified", but this does not account for the circumstance of the record being edited before the initial review date should be set. 

 

Is there a way to have a flow only trigger once for a record within a SharePoint list? Any other ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Mike_Automate 

    The only idea that comes to my mind is that you add a new "Yes/No" column to the SharePoint list, so you only run the flow when the column value is "No", and when it runs for the first time, set it to "Yes".

    Hope that helps!
