How to avoid duplicate messages sending?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have a flow which is triggered every hour. Every hour it must send a message with a new item in the list (first I get the items list with Get Items). If a message with any specific item (item ID) was already sent before it must not be sent again.
I thought about using some variable which I can assign item ID after sending. But it would be initialized every time after trigger event (recurrence). So it will be reset every time the flow starts. How can I define variable let's say on a global scope to avoid its inizialisation on each flow run?

Any other ways to implement the logic I described? Thank you.

    Hi Schoon,

     

    Not sure with your scenario. Would you try to use the trigger “SharePoint - When a new item is created”?


    By using this trigger, every time a new item is created, your flow would be triggered and an email would be sent with the specific item.

    PS: I would suggest you post Microsoft Flow issues at Flow Forum, the reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

     

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao
