Power Automate Flow Running Multiple Times and Creating Duplicate Entries

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

 

I have a Power Automate Cloud Flow connected to a SharePoint List.

 

My issue is that the flow is running multiple times automatically for a single item, causing duplicate entries and duplicate emails.

 

I want the flow to run only once per item.

 

Current trigger: When an item is created / modified Then condition and last is update item

 

Can someone help identify why the flow is triggering multiple times and how to prevent duplicate runs?

    Are you updating item as the one which triggers the flow? In that case it sounds you are running into an infinite loop.
     
    You can avoid this by adding a trigger condition to your trigger action.
     
    Tom Riha has a nice article on this approach:
