I have a flow that runs after files are updated to a folder. I was a bit short-sighted in developing the flow. Our first and failed test came today when someone uploaded over 800 items and my flow ran 800 times.
My imagination is failing me--what trigger can I use to determine when files/folders are added that won't trigger on each item? I only need to run the flow after all items have been added and only once on each folder. After the initial upload, other processes take care of additions.
I don't want to so much avoid it triggering. I want to trigger once all files have been uploaded. In the case I outlined above, I think I'm just going to have to run this flow daily and your code will help me grab the correct files. Thank you.
Hi @jesslynh ,
Do you want to avoid triggering a flow every time a file is uploaded?
Here is a test for your reference:
Set [Recurrence] to trigger every 5 minutes.
Set [Get files (properties only)] ‘s Filter Query:
Created ge '@{addMinutes(formatDateTime(utcNow(),'o'),-5)}' and Created lt '@{formatDateTime(utcNow(),'o')}'
In this way, you can get files uploaded by users within five minutes.
If you want to trigger less frequently, you can set it to trigger every hour, or every day
Best Regards
