Limit flow to trigger once per user/per day.

Posted on by

I have a very simple cloud flow that triggers an email to notify a team that the document has been updated. I already limit the users that will trigger the flow but since the document is a spreadsheet I don't want the flow to get triggered every time a cell gets modified. I figure there might be a way to limit the amount of times a user can trigger the flow within a time range or maybe any action that happens within a certain amount of time will only trigger once. 

 

ie. If it takes me 2 minutes to enter all the data I need in 1 line of the report, any cell that has been modified within those 2 minutes will still be considered "one action".

 

I'm new to Power Automate, I appreciate your patience and help.

    Would it maybe be better just to run a scheduled daily flow to identify whether or not the Excel file has been updated, or hasn't? 

    Or is a list of people who updated it necessary?
