When an item is modified (v2) trigger. Flow is not triggering

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a flow that connects to an SQL database.  Using the Trigger - "When an item is modified (v2)".

 

 

The problem is the flow doesn't even trigger even though the:

- Server name is correct

- Database name is correct

- Table name is correct.

We have another flow that uses the same SQL trigger "When an item is modified (v2)" but for a different database and table name which does get triggered when the corresponding trigger event occurs and it works fine.

 

So could it be the database itself? I really need help.

Thanks

    @Anonymous ,

    Please be aware about known issues and limitations of the SQL - When an item is modified (V2) action. Does your table meet the RowVersion column condition?

    But I don't understand it works for our other flows which use SQL as a connect and "When an item is modified" as a trigger. 

    We get this error when I drill into this particular flows analytics

    With error details as Bad Gateway.

    @Anonymous ,

    Let's first solve the problem.

    Can you create a rowversion column on your SQL table (use a new created one, not to alter existing data by doing something wrong) ?

    I can't edit the table or alter any information as to it's from a 3rd party company.

    I figured it out with some research. That trigger "When an Item is modified" will only work or trigger if the SQL Table in this context has a column that could be called anything. But as a data type of "timestamp".

     

    So In my sql table i need to add a column called anything i.e. "RowVersion" and datatype of "timestamp

     

    Code snippet here:

     

    ALTER TABLE TableName

    ADD ColumnName Datatype;

    So for me ALTER TABLE abc
    ADD RowVersion timestamp;
