Intermittently trigger does not fire: when an item is created or modified

Posted on by 310

My flow uses the "When an item is created or modified" trigger action on a SharePoint list.   After trigger, the action is to get changes, followed by a condition control to check if the specific Status column has changed.  If the status has changed there are several actions afterwards, if the status has not changed, the flow is terminated.

I've noticed recently, a few instances at different times during the day, where an item was modified, but the flow was not triggered.  

 

Eg. SharePoint item version history shows: 

  1. 6:30 am, non-status column is changed on item version 5
  2. 6:31 am, status column is changed on item version 6
  3. 6:32 am, non-status column is changed on item version 7
  4. 6:33 am, status column is changed on item version 8

 

Looking at the flow run history, I can see the flow triggered for most, but not all of the above

  1. 6:30 am, version 5 trigger flow was cancelled (expected outcome)
  2. no trigger flow present for version 6 in the flow history
  3. 6:32 am, version 7 trigger flow was cancelled (expected outcome)
  4. 6:33 am, version 8 trigger flow was successful (expected outcome)

 

Any ideas on what is causing this intermittent behavior?  Thank you in advance.
