Trigger: avoid infinite loop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Giorgio67 145

Hi

In my table  dataverse I have written this string to avoid an infinite loop for each item change

The trigger starts when changes occur in those columns

and this is the condition but doesn't work

this is a data field:

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/cr5ef_salesmanagerdata'], null)

 

Thanks

    Your trigger condition means:
    Trigger the flow if a change is made in the table and field cr5ef_salesmanagerdata is empty

    Is this your interntion?

    Hi @DJ_Jamba, yes exactly

    So that means any change to the table could trigger your flow if the cr5ef_salesmanagerdata is left empty.
    And whilst that could trigger the flow many times, the only way you could get into an infinite loop, is if the same flow is updating the same table that triggers the flow.

    Are you updating the same table within this flow?
