Do not add row if data will duplicate after extracting from email

Posted on by sumbapui 9

Flow works as I need it to however if an email arrives with the same information as an older email it creates a duplicate in the table.  I can't figure out how to prevent a row from repeating. Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hi @sumbapui,

    Do you want to avoid duplicate row add to Excel?

    You should create a unique key column and use config after run.
