Flow not triggering on Record Save

Posted on by Aneeqa Pervaiz

Hello,

I have a flow which triggers on a field change. I have added my trigger conditions in the first step like this,

However, this is leading to user problems when it comes to saving.

When I create a record, fill in all details, and make the trigger conditions true, then SAVE the record, the flow does not trigger. Only when everything is saved once, then the trigger toggle is switched on does it trigger. This will cause confusion among the users. Not everyone is going to remember to fill out all details, SAVE, then turn the toggle on, and save again to see the process happening.
I do not want it running on every update because it is a long flow and I do not want to use up flow runs and bog the system down.

Does anyone know a way around it?

Thank you.

Hi @AneeqaPervaiz,

Do you have a status field for that record and does it change after you saved it? Maybe you can use that as a trigger condition?

No, it is a flow on Task entity. So the status will not change so soon.
I tried adding a hidden field on the form, which would update with a Yes (By a workflow), and used that in the trigger condition - but that did not help me as well.
I thought the teeny delay in the workflow would cover up for not saving.
