Trigger Recurrence option Missing

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9
I noticed last week I no longer have the option to edit the Recurrence frequency on a trigger. (specifically for When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2)). Can obviously still see it in the code view. 
Is this no longer something we can edit? I tried in the new and classic designer. The option is completely gone.

    @JM-24041722-0 I don't recall the When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2) having a recurrence frequency. If you need to specify a recurrence frequency, you'll need to use the Recurrence trigger.
     
    The When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2) trigger will trigger whenever a new email arrives in your shared mailbox. It's always best practice to include trigger conditions in automated triggers. This way your flow will only trigger when you want it to—not every time a new email arrives.

    Trigger conditions can be set in most flow triggers. These conditions you set must be true for the trigger to fire.
    In this Power Automate tutorial, I’m going to show you how to use trigger conditions in your flows to control when your Power Automate flows trigger. If your plan has flow run limits—you can avoid triggering your flows unnecessarily by using trigger conditions.
     
    I’ll cover four different flow examples that would benefit from trigger conditions:
    ⚡️ Triggering a flow when a column is changed to a specific value
    ⚡️ Triggering a Flow When an Event Updated or Deleted
    ⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a New Folder is Created
    ⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a Specific Email is Received
     
    I’ll also show you a trick on how to easily create the expressions needed and give you a few tips on how to troubleshoot your flow.

    I am having the same issue with the trigger When a file is created or modified (properties only). I used to be able to modify the interval recurrence, but this option seems be gone.

    I just finished a call with the Microsoft Support Team and confirmed that the feature to modify recurrence directly within triggers is no longer available. If this functionality is critical for the flow, we’ll need to explore workarounds such as using delay actions or scheduled triggers.

     

    The attached image shows a snippet from the documentation when the feature was still available.

    Thank you @JA-08051403-0! I figured I would have to reach out to Microsoft to confirm. 
    Boy I hate that they did this but at least now I know.
