Trigger doesn't seem to be working

I'm trying to use the new trigger "When an item or file is modified"

Annotation 2020-08-02 175344.png

 

I have not configured any settings, I'm using the right site and right list, but when I test this by modifying a list item, it is not triggering at all?

 

Anyway one getting this trigger working?

 

Thanks,

Terry

    can you please provide more details?

    How many items are there in the list?
    Are you sure the list in action and the item you modified are correct?
    Some times the run can take up-to 5 minutes to start, have you verified from run history?

    Any outages outlined in your health dashboard?

    do you have many actions connecting to SharePoint that is causing it to throttle in your flow envrionment?

     

    Please click Accept as Solution if it resolved your problem or give it a Thumbs Up if it helped you in anyway this will allow other people to search correct solutions effectively.

    Hi Terry! I noticed this new action last week and wanted to try it out - your post here encouraged me to take the plunge and see if it's working for me. I have a SUPER Simple flow configured using this Flow. I manually triggered my Flow to test it and I can confirm the same user experience you've had. It never picks up the trigger, even after several minutes of waiting.

    I'm going to try a few other things, but I wanted to reassure you that you're not alone seeing this sort of thing!

    Thanks for confirming.

     

    Yes mine is simple too, waited hours, tried several times.

    Try and click the test button in Power Automate. And click I will trigger. Wait for the screen saying it is waiting for you to trigger.

    Yes I have done that.  Above in the thread, someone else verified that it isn't working for them either.  Are you saying it is working for you?
