Posted on by wonka1234 909 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hi,

 

I am trying to use a power automate to 

1) Create NEW items

2) If Item exists - update item and row

3) Do not create duplicates.

 

 

step 1 - i am creating items in my sharepoint list via an excel table.

Step 2 - now that these are created, how can I view update values in this row each time the flow is ran and not create duplicates?

 

condition - length(outputs('Get_items')?['body'])

getting an error on my condition - "Action 'Condition' failed"

 

any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @wonka1234 ,

    You have posted this topic in the Power Apps community, but it seems to be about Power Automate. Probably you have a better chance of getting a solution by posting it in the Power Automate Community: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Automate/ct-p/MPACommunity
