I'm running into an odd issue where my Flow will not trigger correctly upon modifying a list item. I have flow set up to copy appended Col1 content to Col2 which can then be listed as an 'updated comment' in my list's default view.
It's the same logic as a SP2013 workflow I've been using, but for whatever reason the flow will not automatically trigger when an item is created/modified in my list - it will only trigger if I go back into the flow and manually save it (the Flow) again. Additionally, if I manually save the Flow a second time, it wipes Col2's existing content.
I am not intimately familiar with any quirks found in the 'When an item is created or modified' SharePoint trigger in Flow, but it's possible I'm missing something obvious.
Below is the logic I'm using.
'Comment Update' MS Flow example
Any help would be much appreciated, I haven't been able to find any posts going over this Flow trigger specifically. It seems like there would either be a very obvious solution to this, or this is a glaring bug with Flow.
Thank you for your time.
I have multiple Power App deployment where it seems like these Cloud Flow events randomly stop working, until I change the scope to any other value and then back before it starts working again. It is mind numbingly annoying and makes me reconsider using cloud flows for anything remotely important.
Let me stress that this product has so many bugs like this lying around which forces so many workarounds. A common pattern we see in answers are related to workarounds which instead should be coming from the underlying feature itself. This solution did work but it is not sustainable with this amount of workarounds.
This work around works for me! Thanks! @jpenland
Hi everyone,
I know this is an old thread, but I stumbled upon in while I was trying to solve the same problem. I wanted to share what resolved it for me in case anyone else comes across this thread like I did.
Scenario:
I have 2 accounts with 2 flows each for a total of 4 flows (that I am aware of) which are all connected to the same list and are using the same "When an item is created or modified" trigger. 3 of the flows trigger at the same time automatically every time an item is created or modified in the source list. The last flow would not ever trigger automatically. I had to "edit" the flow and click "save" (even without actually making any edits) in order for the flow to run (and then it would run all the pending instances at once as others have observed).
Solution:
I don't know why this worked, but what I did to resolve the issue was:
The copy started working right away. It triggers at the same time the other (good) ones do and runs correctly.
I can't guarantee these steps will resolve the issue for others, but I wanted to share something to try in hopes that it may help someone.
Jut want to add a point
There are 2 seperate lists:
- 1st Trigger in figure is for 1st list.
- 2nd trigger in figure is for 2nd list.
So by your suggestion i would start 2nf flow with 2nd list trigger, but after that i want to call attachment from list one and send email + update task.
Hope this clears a bit more.
Thanks for that.
- The problem is how to call the attachement from previous made list and send an email?
- Also i want to update the task. How to call the exact task which the flow makes. I know there will be task ID, but it only work for this particular task. I want to automate it, meaning when a new task is created from the first flow,then the second flow should recognise only that task not the old one?
Thanks in advance.

I strongly suggest removing the second trigger from your Flow. You'll likely need to use two separate Flows.
I have question too regarding sharepoint.
- I read the everything above and tried. When made seperatly the flows worked. but in the same flow they do not work.
- My second trigger does not work. Please help me with that. Please reply as soon as possible i have stuck in that for way too long.
- My flow is as follows:
