update list when a planner task is completed

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Gurus,

 

I need your assistance in designing the following flow between SharePoint and Teams Planner.

  1. I have an automated flow (FLOW A) which is triggered when a new item is created in the SharePoint list and post that it creates a new task in Teams planner.
  2. Again, the user can also create a new task within Teams Planner directly hence I would require to create another flow (Flow B) which would be triggered when a new task is created and post that create a new item in SharePoint list to be in sync. This is where I am having issues.
  3. If the above flow FLOW B runs then as soon as a new item is created in the SharePoint list FLOW A is triggered which results in creation of another task in Teams planner.
  4. I have tried multiple methods like turning off/ turning on flow within Flow B as well but it doesn’t seem to work as as soon as the flow is turned on it finds a new item added in the list which triggers Flow A ☹.

Any help would be highly appreciated on this.

 

Cheers

Rohan

    You should add something like a date column for the last modified by flow date-time.

    Then on any flow that creates or updates the list, you can fill that column with utcnow().

    Then you can add a trigger condition on your other flow(s) that checks if that modified by flow column has a date-time less than utcnow() minus a few minutes. So it checks if the item was modified by a flow in the past few minutes & if it was not (the modified by flow date is less than a few minutes before the flow was triggered) then it will continue with the flow run.

    Thanks. I actually tried this way as well but in my current design this won't work due to the fact that the sharepoint can also be updated at any time directly.

    I was able to resolve this by adding a new column in Sharepoint which will store a FLAG which specifies if its coming from Planner or from Sharepoint. I am using this flag as a condition in my flow to decide if the item in the sharepoint needs to be created or not.
