Trigger not working as per conditions

Hello Team. 
 
I have created a flow to send out an email when an item in business central is discontinued that is when the description of the item is changed the trigger should prompt an email and send to the team. 
I am using a Business central connector "When an item is modified" and i have added a condition "when (D) has been added to the description". 
The flow runs correctely for the first time and sending an email. but then it keeps running every time there is any other change related to the discontinued item. 
Please assist how can i fix that? i want the flow to only send the email once when the description was changed. 
 
  • Trigger not working as per conditions
    Can you change the metadata of the record, like add a column?  
     
    I would add a second requirement for the trigger that only the flow controls.  Like a true/false.  Normally true for records, but when it becomes (D), the flow which triggers off becoming (D) also updates the record to make the requirement false.  This will prevent subsequent updates to the record from triggering the flow.
     
    I often use Status conditions for this purpose. Trigger off one Status, then update to a different Status.
