Avoid creating duplicate Planner buckets

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello. I am attempting to create a flow that triggers from a Jotform submission and creates a bucket if one does not exist that matches the name field on Jotform.

 

Essentially: Jotform submission - look for buckets - if one matches "Name" from Jotform, then do nothing, if no buckets match then create a bucket.

 

I am able to setup and run the flow without any errors. However, if a bucket does not exist the flow fires as it should by creating the one bucket. However, if a bucket already exists, the flow creates multiples of the existing bucket. 

 

Really not sure what I am doing wrong. I'm sure it's a formula or expression I don't know how to write since I am a novice at all this. Does anyone have any thoughts? Any help is welcomed.

    Hi @cp411 

     

    What action is the one creating the duplicate buckets? Also, you can retrieve the buckets using the action: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/planner/#list-buckets. After you get all the buckets, you can compare and check if the one you need already exists.

     

    Best Regards,
