Posted on by hpatel95

Hello folks,

I created two separate flows which "when item modified in specific column, send an email.

flow 1;

flow 2;

Problem:

When I update any item in SharePoint list, the flow triggers but fails. Means the flow is active, but it should not be triggered every time. I'll finish my daily API limits for the flow cycle.

So I want to reduce the flow's triggering rate and save API per day.

Please explain how I can meagre.

parallelly? If yes, how horizontally? If so, how?

Thank you in advance...

Hi @hpatel95 ,

You could incorporate the second flow as a parallel branch into the first flow, sharing the same trigger. I've made a test for your reference:

1\Add a parallel branch

2\New flow

Can I use this trigger condition together?

flow 1
flow 2

flow 1 run when we select this column to value,
and "1 Email send" update to True

flow 2 run when we select this column to value,
and "2 Email send" update to True

So how do I meagre in one flow?
Can I use both trigger condition in one?
If I add parallel,
will flow will be slow?
It means when 1st email send, how flow will run?

You could try this trigger condition:

@or(equals(XXX,xx),equals(xx,xx))

If I add parallel, will flow will be slow?

No.

Flow will run two branches simultaneously.

Solved

I put this trigger to trigger only when specific column value changes.
It's working...
@not(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/OData__x0031__x002e_ServiceStart/Value'], null))
@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/OData__x0031_Emailsent'],false)
to create condition, simply follow this steps;
1.
2.

3.
here select column value (if this value changes, the flow shell trigger)

select "Edit in advance mode

copy this and remove in null comma
and pest to trigger condition.

It works like,
1st email trigger when
in
column "1. Service start" we change value to "service start"
and
column "1. Email SS" should be empty means false

then
flow update item in SharePoint
column "1.Email SS" change to True (so It doesn't trigger again)

2nd email trigger when
in
column "2. BAU communication" we change value to "BAU communication"
and
column "2. Email BAU" value is empty means false

then
flow update item in SharePoint
column "2. Email BAU" change to True (so It doesn't trigger again)
