Hello! I need to do a flow and I get stuck. In my SharePoint site I have a folder that in which people upload files that need to be changed/approved. I have a Sign-off status column that shows the status of the files. (Waiting for changes, Approved, Changing in progress).
What I need to do is create a Power automate flow that checks the status of the file and based on that it sends an email to a person on the Process Owner column and moves the file to the next folder). I get stuck in the Power Automate flow because I get a circular loop when I try to send and update the file (I need to update the file because if I move the file in the next folder it still will be "Approved" and the process will begin again in the next folder):
I need a way to update the file when sending it without firing the first trigger again (When a file is created or modified).
you can try one thing, you need to pass the condition on the trigger. For example, if your flow is run by a service account so you can set a condition in the trigger, the file modifier is not equal to the service account. So, if you modify your file in flow and have a condition then your flow will not trigger in the loop. you can find any other condition according to your functionality.
