When a file is created or modified (properties only) - Runnig two times same file

Posted on by felipereis50

Hello,
I would like some help.

I don't know much about power automate, and based on videos on youtube I'm creating a flow that when an excel file is added to the folder, power automate will read the table with several lines and include it in the sharepoint list.

The problem is that for some reason the flow is being generated twice (for the same file)

For example: I upload 1 file, with two lines in the table, and the flow is generated twice or "Running" for the same file.

After two minutes the second flow starts.

I don't know why the system is understanding that I have uploaded a following file.

What do I need to do to avoid?

See screen shots

5) Sharepoin list ( Two itens created base on table) It's all right

My Flow

All my flow is returning this flow checker

Hi @felipereis50 ,

If you want to trigger a flow when a new file is created and need to update this file in next action, please use the trigger 'When a file is created'.

I did a test:

Use ‘When a file is created or modified’ and ‘Update file properties’.

The action of update the file triggers the flow again, so the flow runs twice.

Use ’When a file is created’.

The trigger is not fired again, and the flow only runs once.

Best Regards,

Wearsky

I also faced the same problem. I was triggering a pipeline from the flow, but the pipeline was getting triggered twice. To resolve this issue, I used the Scope activity and placed the pipeline trigger inside it. This resolved the issue for me. Hopefully, it will work for you as well. Thanks.
