Hello,
My approval flow runs twice every time and item is edited in my SharePoint library and I am unsure why. I have removed conditional triggers and any loops involved, but still cannot figure out why it runs twice every time it is triggered. Can anyone see any issues in my flow where this could be happening?
I was able to solve the issue from the article you sent, thank you very much!
The item won't be marked as "Pending" until the approval is sent. So I suspect that is why its not triggering. The best way to do this is to run the flow under a service account. Then use a trigger condition that it the item wasn't modified by that service account. If anyone else modifies the item the flow will trigger, but if the flow modifies it, then it won't.
The flow is not triggering at all now.
@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/ApprovalStatus/Value'], 'Pending')
Here is the conditional trigger I am using, anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I realized I had the @ in the wrong spot and removed a parenthesis, I will now try this again.
Hello,
After looking at the article I have tried but this error is coming up now. After the edits are made to the file its status is set to "Pending" but I don't know how to tell the function to look for that value
Did you add a trigger condition to make sure it doesn't re-trigger the flow when you set the content status? Take a look at the following article.
