Hi guys! I'm currently using a SharePoint's "When an Item or a File is Modified" action in Power Automate. It would trigger the flow whenever I make changes in a file in the SharePoint and send me notifications. I have encountered an issue regarding about configuring the "Recurrence" part of the "How often do you want to check for items?" section. This is illustrated in the below screenshot:

I configure the "interval" to 1 and "Frequency" to Day and after that I went to save my flow, so that it would help me check for changes in a file or an item in the SharePoint once a day. However, this setting would always be reverted back to the default settings of 3 for "Interval" and Minute for "Frequency" no matter whether the flow is in the new designer mode or in the old designer mode. Is there a way to mitigate this issue?

Hi @Del-Dev ,

Currently, it seems that the Recurrence setting for triggers cannot be saved. If you want to check files or items that have been modified within 24 hours every day, I suggest creating a scheduled flow that runs once a day and then filtering out items or files that have been modified within 24 hours.

I've made a test for your reference:

Hi @v-bofeng-msft,
Thanks for your suggestion! As far as I know that the SharePoint's "Get Items" action is to retrieve items from a SharePoint List. I have an excel file in my SharePoint folder and my intention is if the excel file in the SharePoint folder is modified within 24 hours everyday, then it would trigger the flow in Power Automate. May I ask whether the "Get Items" action does the same thing for an excel file instead of a SharePoint List?

Hi @v-bofeng-msft,
Before I try, I want to clarify that the expression "addDays(utcNow(),-1) is to be filled into the "Filter Query" field right?
