Old Records Need to be Added to List, but I don't Want My Flow to Process Them

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 29

I have a flow that creates new folders in one drive, sends messages in teams, an email and setups a calendar invite for every new record that is entered into a specific list.

 

I want to add old data into this list, but when I pause the flow, enter the data, then unpause the flow. The flow starts processing each entry into the list.

 

How do I enter backlogged data without my flow processing it?

    @Jakel  Create one column-Record and set this column value as OLDDATA. In your flow, after trigger add condition with Record not equal to OLDDATA then add your flow logic in YES block and in NO block add terminate action.

    This way you can add old record as n when required without disturbing your flow.
