Automated flow only works in manual test mode.

Posted on by Albert328

I have a flow that does the following

When a spreadsheet is added to a library
- Create a table in that sheet
Get the list items from that table
For each list item, create an item in a SharePoint list

I want this flow to be automated that is triggered when a file is added to the library. This only works when I select to do a manual test, and runs as expected. Otherwise the flow will not run.

I've made a copy of the flow that is activated by a button, as an exercise, and that works every time.

With this particular trigger, there is a 3 minute interval that the trigger goes and checks for a new file in the specified folder (so it is not instant like other triggers). This is not configurable in the classic designer, but you can see the setting in the "peek code" feature:

If you want to configure this, you can use the "new" editor.

You may also consider using the new trigger, as this one is deprecated. It works in much the same way:

Thanks @Anchov I switched the trigger and things seem to be moving now. I didn't know what deprecated meant here. Cheers.
