Posted on by venky232

i have created Sp flow for approval.

it working fine & but when i resubmit item again for approval it is not working.

my flow steps

When an item is created

start and wait for an Approval

condition-outcome

if Approve
Send an email as approved
update an item ( column status to Approved)

if Rejected

Send an email as Rejected
update an item ( ( column status to Rejected)

(after rejection ,user will modify form and save it back ,now i want again flow to trigger from continue from previous flow,i added below code)

Get Item

Condition : Changed again status to pending for Approval

start and wait for an Approval-2nd time

condition-outcome

if Approve
Send an email as approved
update an item ( column status to Approved)

here flow running all actions in first submission, not running in 2nd time submission( after rejection again submitted for approval).

any idea to break flow above GET ITEM action and run remaining flow 2nd time after resubmission of form in SP?

Your trigger only looks at the instance when the item is created.
Change it to when item is created or modified.
Inside the flow check to see if the Status has changed using Get changes for an item action.

Actions in this flow may result in an infinite trigger loop. Please ensure you add appropriate conditional checks to prevent this flow from triggering itself.

Add a trigger condition so that the flow only triggers if
@not(equals(trigger body()?['Status'], 'Approved'))

If you are referring to this, it is not an error but a warning.
Actions in this flow may result in an infinite trigger loop. Please ensure you add appropriate conditional checks to prevent this flow from triggering itself.

Your trigger condition should take care of it. Upload a screenshot if this is unclear.
