Hello all,
On weekly basis I have 78 files that are updated automatically and published in the same folder on SharePoint. Because they are used in a web part, I’ve created a flow to complete the title of the documents.
This flow works fine in test situations with a small number of files being loaded, but when loading all 78 files at a once not all titles are completed.
I’ve redesigned my flow like to send a mail as first action, then update the title via the file properties. Last step is to set up 4 parrelel branch, each with a different option for 'run after'. This allows me to monitor if each upload triggers the flow + find out the status of the ‘update file properties’ afterwards.
This learned me:
- Some files trigger multiple flow sessions (going to 3 sessions), others just start one flow session.
That a flow is triggered twice seems logical (once after initial upload, once after the modification of the name). But I can’t explain the 1 session, nor the triple sessions. - Flows that run in error (with code 409 conflict) are tackled again during a later run and end up fine with a title.
- Only 72 of my files are touched by the trigger, for 6 files the title isn’t completed and don’t show up in my mails.
Now I have a couple of questions:
- What to change so that all files activate the trigger
- Is there a way to prevent that the multiple sessions of flow a triggered? And is this a good idea to stop this, since it seems they also act as backup when the initial flow fails.
As you might already noticed I’m a newbie to MS flow, so I might have overlooked very simple settings.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
