Updating a Sharepoint List from a document library

Hello!

I am trying to create a flow that is triggered when an item in a document library is created or modified. The flow needs to create a new item or update an existing item. Here is what I've tried:

Each time I run the flow, a new item is created, and I am unable to update existing items.

your condition would be failing.
Copy both sides you are comapring into compose actions and observe their output for each run through the loop. Are you sure you picked the Name from trigger and the title from get items? You probally could use a filter as well on the get items and just create a item if the length is 0 as otherwise your flow will become slower and slower the more list items you end up with

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try the following methods to achieve your needs.

Use Filter Query to filter out the eligible items in the list.

Use the length() function to determine whether such items exist. If they do not exist, create new items; if they exist, update the items.
