    Hi @Spsola ,

     

    Can you check the runtime history of the flow to see if that gives you any insights as to why the flow could be running twice:

    Thanks. Here's my flow.  I have over 20+ similar flows. and this duplicate email issue only started recently. Am thinking it could be my old pc which takes time to sync with the onedrive cloud..

    Hi @Spsola ,

     

    Can you share your flow? 

     

    For example, the following flow will run if the item that was created is a new file or new folder. You will want to check if the item that was created is a File then send the email.

    (I'm using the classic editor due to a "bug" in the New designer when creating the new flow)
