Hi All, 

I'm new to Power Automate. My flow is running for more than 4 hours, and I'm not sure why. Here's how it works: when a new email arrives, Power Automate triggers the flow. It extracts names from the email body and matches them with a spreadsheet. If there's a match, it pulls the attachment from the email and saves it in OneDrive. The spreadsheet contains 400 rows. Previously, the flow ran faster, but now it's taking more time. Could you please provide guidance on what might be causing this slowdown? Thanks in advance!

    Instead of using list row with a loop and if conditions..two ways to avoid is either

     

    1. use the odata filter option in list rows and directly check if item is retreived or not and process if items are retrieved

    2. Use filter array to filter the list rows and get the required row which again avoids a big loop

     

    cheers
