Check if item in SharePoint was created within the last 5 minutes by the same user.

Posted on by nicklim 391

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to create a flow where it checks the SharePoint list item if it was created within 5 minutes by the same user. If condition is true, stop the flow.

 

For example, the flow checks "Logged By" and "Created" columns. In this scenario, both items were created within 5 minutes by the same user. If that is the case, the flow should stop.

I have been trying with the if condition but without any luck. Please kindly help.

 

Thanks.

    Hey @nicklim 

    Can you show the flow in edit mode. Also show the expressions you are using.

    But I have a bit of concern here. Lets say in future number of items increases. You might be using get items for it. The get items might be taking more than 5 minutes. And your flow might not work properly.

    But one more thing can be done is in top count you can give like 50-100 items and in order by you can give Created Desc.

    Hi @Sundeep_Malik 

     

    No.3 figure is the part that I can't figure out, like how do I use the If condition action to achieve the result? I think PVA has the ability to do that but there are not much info that I can find on the internet. So am just wondering if PA can do the trick?
