Flow: Existing item is modified trigger is running on already existing items

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I've a flow where I want to work on items in a sharepoint list that I import from a project-file. I'm starting the flow with a "item is created or modiefied" trigger. Because i don't want to run the flow when i update the list from the project-file I disable the flow for the import/sync. But when I start the flow again it is executed for every new item that was created or modified during the time when the flow was inactive. I thought that the flow is only catching the new or modified items for the time when the flow is running, is this wrong?

    Hi @SvenH,

     

    Do you want the flow to only catch the new or modified items for the time when the flow is running?

     

    As your said, when start the flow again it is executed for every new item that was created or modified during the time when the flow was inactive in microsoft flow currently.

     

    If you want the flow to only catch the new or modified items for the time when the flow is running,I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

    If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Alice
