Hello,
I hope you are all fine. I'm writing a post because I'm having a problem with Power Automate Flows.
My goal is to synchronize two SharePoint Lists. I've created two SharePoint Lists to assign roles to two categories of users. Some users can edit columns 1 and 2, while admins can edit columns 1, 2 and 3. My aim is to synchronize these lists so that changes in List 1 are automatically reflected in List 2. In addition, user 2, with extended rights, should be able to correct user 1's entries.
I've followed the following tutorial, but when I create two flows with this structure, they work fine but enter an infinite loop... I was wondering if you have a solution to solve this problem please because it’s been several days that I am not able to fix the issue…
Could you please help me because I really don’t know how to solve this…
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best regards,
Sarah
Hi @Sarahnt,
You're welcome, don't forget to promote second solution as topic solution, your flow design is interesting and specific due to attachment update. It will help those who face same loop issue 😉

Hi @Sarahnt,
You'll need to have administration rights on your tenant else you'll have to ask to your IT team.
A service account is like any other account, you have to assign it a license, permissions, etc..
Those account usually use never expire password policy/settings.
Read below documentations for more information:

I've never done this. It's the first time for me. How can I do this please?
Is it this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-lA8g_W68U&ab_channel=M365TechHelp
Because I don't have the hand to add an environment.
Ok, that's not a good practice, to my customers I always advice to create a service account for power automate and design flow with it. I have same practice for my dev tenant.
You'll have many advantage:
- Dedicated mailbox
- No need to change owner when leaving organization (when they don't forget to change before deleted account, already saw that)
- Usually that account can have high permissions, regular users shouldn't have
[Edit] for your testing purpose, as you've got only one account, you have to ask somebody else to modify items and there will be no loop. Or if you can, create another account to test.

But do you use same account to edit flow and to update items ? it will not work, you have to use an account for your flows and another for updating items 😉

Hi @Sarahnt
Nope, use only last one.

Did you keep both of the trigger conditions? Because by my side the loop persists if I only put@not(equals(triggerbody()?['Editor']?['Email'],'PowerAutomate@contoso.com')) 😞
It may not work because I'm using a personal account... How can I fix this please?
