The flow itself wasn't triggered, but one of the step was triggered

I have an automated flow which is connected to SharePoint lists, and the lists are connected to Power Apps.
(Which means there is no direct connection setup between Power Automate and Power Apps.)

The flow will be triggered when the new item is added to the SharePoint list.
(adding item via Power Apps, once the item is reflected on SharePoint list, the flow will be triggered.)
The flow basically works for creating an approval and send the approval request on Teams.

I have setup "send an mail" which is "configured run later" when the previous step is failed.

So far, for over months the flow worked fine.

However, I received the mail this morning without any of the approval request/notification from Teams as I setup in the flow.
I checked the run history, but there is no record for the last 2 weeks at least.
And there is no item added to the SharePoint list either.

Why did the step (sent mail) be triggered even though the flow itself didn't even triggered?

    Hi, @SudeepGhatakNZ 
    I don't thinks so....
    I mean I have other similar test flows, but all of them are turned off long time ago.

    Could there be another flow (perhaps from UAT) sending these unexpected notifications?
