and the  first "Get files (properties only)" action, details:-

and the second "Get files (properties only)" action, details:-

johnjohnPter_2-1718375784002.png

 

 

Here is the result of the second action:-

any advice? why the second action will always return empty, even if there are files that matches the criteria ?

Thanks

 

I have 2 "Get files (properties only)" actions, to show the files that have been modified in the last 2 hours from 2 libraries inside the same site, the first action is working well, while the second action will always return empty array.

    Hi,

     

    This might be paging issue. Please try increasing the pagination size by clicking (...) & select 'Settings' from the sub menu:

    Toggle on 'Pagination' switch & enter 100000 in threshold textbox:

    Click 'Done' to save the changes & retest the flow.
