How to Run Flow to update All SharePoint List Items, without Triggering other Flows based on Last Modified Date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I need to create a Recurrence Flow which updates the "CalcToday" (Today's date) field for all SharePoint List Items every morning at 5:00am.  I do not want to trigger any Alerts or Flows which key on Item modification.  Is there any way to turn off all Alerts or Flows which are triggered from Item modification and then turn on the same after the CalcToday field has been updated.

 

While testing this before, I created quite a stir when hundreds of email were sent when doing the mass update using Flow.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi @AMRICE01 ,

     

    You can avoid this situation !!

     

    In recurrence flow, configure item update action using some service account or any account which is not taking part in any process related to that list.

     

    For example, to update any data in SP I use the below action. I have configured the below action with vicky..... acount.

    Changes required in flows which runs on Item modification.

    • Add trigger condition, which says don't trigger the flows if item is modified by above account (vicky....)

    Put below condition in above trigger condition field.

     

    @not(contains(toLower(triggerOutputs()?['body/Editor/Claims']), toLower('Vicky@kamrajnagar.onmicrosoft.com')))

     

    Note : you can replace above email with your account email id.

     

    This will solve your issue.

     

    Thanks
