How to set triggers for SP items when item is created/modified vs approved?

I have a SP list, and I want to set up a system where users can create/edit items and when that happens, it should trigger a flow. Additionally, I want an admin to then be able to go and approve or deny the item using the out of the box content approval system, and changing this from pending to either approved or deny should also trigger a different flow. BUT both flows should never trigger at the same time because apparently changing the approval status of the item also triggers the item modified flow.

How can I set it up so that they are exclusive events?

Hi @R58395 ,

You can use trigger conditions for the trigger.

Maybe set a condition where status must equal to pending or along those lines for the flow to be triggered?

I see why this is causing problems - the first thing that comes to mind is to start your Modified Item flow with a condition that will have it stop if only Approval Status was modified.
