SQL Trigger Issue - 'Update Row (V2)' is not triggering 'When an item is modified (V2)'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RyanW7 35

I have 2 Microsoft Flows built:

One that triggers off 'When an item is created (V2)' and then conditionally updates that SQL row

One that triggers off 'When an item is modified (V2)' and then processes

 

The first flow will run, detect the new SQL entry, process, and terminate

The second flow will never run, even though I am modifying SQL entries in the first flow

 

Does 'Update Row (V2)' not exhibit the same behavior that 'When an item is modified (V2)' is looking for?

Is this a timing issue, if so any suggestions to resolve?

    Hi @RyanW7,

     

    You could try to create a Timestamp column in SQL then try to use the trigger again.

     

    For more about this trigger, you can refer to this document:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sql/#when-an-item-is-modified-(v2)

    I'm having exactly the same issues.  Did this get resolved?  Is it a bug?

    You need to create a timestamp field in your source table.  Sounds strange but works.  See the link below
