Hello team,

I am new to the power automate and wanted to know why below issue is happening for simple 2 step flow.

I only have 2 steps, first trigger is when keywords are mentioned in Teams group chat then second step is to post message in group or channel with reply as success, but when I send keyword in group chat I get response infinite times , it keeps sending success message infinitely.

Wanted to know what's causing this issue.

My guess would be this is caused because you are posting a message to a chat that contains your key word. You will need to use a trigger condition to prevent it from running when you do your post, but I am not sure how you would configure it. You could try the following to see if it works:

@Anonymous(contains(toLower(triggerBody()?['sender']?['userPrincipalName']), 'flowbot@yourorganization.onmicrosoft.com'))

The above tells the flow not to run if the message was posted by the Flow bot. Be sure to update the domain in the e-mail address to your own.
