Approval Workflow keeps starting over

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have an approval flow,but when the flow ends, the process starts right over again. Is there a way to stop the workflow? I'm using the "When a File is created or modified (properties only)" Flow.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you please share some details about the flow you created?

    If there is an Update fiel property action within your flow, then it will cause the flow in a loop.

    You should add a special field to do a check before the Update status action, which then should stop the looping.

     

    Regards,

    Michael

    Also, I've just received the approval email in my Flow over ten times - I should have only received it once. How can that be fixed as well?
