Flow running twice

(1) ShareShare

Hi everyone,

 

My flow seems to be running twice. I've included screenshots below of the flow, I assume it is something to do with the trigger and the recurrence I have set in the connection info. Would anyone be able to give me some tips.

     I havent used this trigger myself, but a couple of thoughts.

     

    1) you're not creating any files in the folder in this flow are you? That would cause the flow to trigger itself of course!

     

    2) Are lots of files being added to the folder at once? I ask because you've set a 1 minute scan and a return of upto 10 files... like you're expecting about that many every minute?  

     

    Good Luck!

    Hey @MaxPK 

     

    Hope the below solution helps you: 

    Cause:

    In your flow I can see that you are using an Action that is "List Files and Folder". After that you are using the "Apply to each" action and maybe you are using the dynamic content of "List Files and Folder" Action. There should be 2 files in the folder that's why it is running twice.

     

    Solution:

    As you are using "when a file is created " Action, so at a time only one file should create, and this action holds the properties of the created file so, you shouldn't avoid the use of "List of Files in Folder" and "Apply to Each" Action then only your flow run single when a new File is Created.

    If my suggestion helps you, please gives it a Thumbs up 👍 and Marks as a Solution ✔️. Which Motivates to solve more Problems.
