HI is there any option where i can create a customer trigger flow, 

 

by this i mean i only want the flow to trigger when Value is entered in specific column, and if it is true then start the approval and update the value.

    Hi @Tapesh ,

     

    I'm afraid that your requirement couldn't be easily achieved since the function to trigger a flow for a special column in modified is not supported in Microsoft flow currently whatever the connector you mentioned is.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi @abm 

    i Have Sharepoint List as Database which I'm using to trigger the flow and also to store the data. 

     

    Please Find the ScreenShot below, The Circle Items only needs to be update as I'm getting the value form user when he send a request restof them are just the collection entries which i have used to update and patch in the SPlist, but issue is even they are are counted as entries and I'm getting multiple Approvals form User even if the record is just one Main which is the First Line. Untitled1.png
    @ChristianAbata  But i guess thats not working for me the solution which you provided as that only satisfy the condition true or false in my case, Pleasee see the screenshot for my help. I only want when to send Approval once for one file Item which is first line. 
    Thank you Experts
