Check if Task exist

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hi Power users,

I would like to check whether there is already a task with a title from a SharePoint list.

If not, he should create a task with the name.

 

It was simply my idea to read both items. Tasks and Sharepoint List.
Then a query: Task title contains the title from the sharepoint list.

If yes, update the task. If no, create a new task.

 

It also works, but he creates tasks several times in the loop.

 

My List:

Tasks:

My simply Flow 🙂

The Result. Positive is he updatet the two existing tasks 🙂

I've already tried arrays. But I admit that I am still at the very beginning and have definitely made mistakes.

 

Thanks

tobko

    Thank you @ChristianAbata for your quick response.

     

    Your example works perfect for New Tasks 🙂

    But if the Title exists it runs in endless loop.

    Is there a way to pass the value from the variable?

    mmm @tobko the example shows that if the tittle exist then go to True statement. You can try passing value by adding more variables and append it.
