Hello All!!

hope you all well...

I am trying to build 2 different flows, first flow will start when an attachment is added to a list item.

1) This flow is for METIN DURUMU column and Initial status of this column is BEKLENIYOR (waiting).

After the flow it turns to ONAYLANDI (approved).

Right after this another collegue adds another (2nd attachment) to the exact same item on the list!

Now I need a trigger for this circumstance. Start the flow when second attachment is added.

The process always the same. I mean the first step of the process will always be 1, and when it is approved and second attachment added the second flow will run. I think i can use window start token but I have no idea how...

thank you for your time and interest!

Note there is no trigger for "when an attachment is added to a list item". You could do the following:

Add two columns to the list: e.g. "Word" and "Picture" which are Yes/No columns. Values are set to "No" i.e. no attachment present until updated.

In the search bar, type "SharePoint" and select the "SharePoint - When an item is created or modified" trigger.

Choose the appropriate SharePoint site and list where you want to monitor for attachment additions.

Add a condition. Click on "New Step" > "Add a condition." Set the condition to check if the "Attachments" field contains a specific attachment type.

If word attachment is found, check if "Word" column is also "No" i.e. signifies its the first time the Word attachment was identified.

Build your follow on steps and make sure to update the "Word" column to "Yes" so next time the flow knows the Word file isn't new.

Thank you for your answer, I build my flow with Condition Control with Display Name // contains formula ! I have added colums for each flow (cuz each approval has different flows) if 1 of them started it will not start again.
