Power Automate flow for SharePoint list New item creation and it's run time

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

 

I have one question on Power automate.

 

Created a new item creation notification through power automate. When new item is created in SharePoint List, power automate will trigger and send's an email to site owners. we studied that, power automate will not trigger if there is no activity in last 30 days. what will happen if there is no item is created in SharePoint list for 30 days, which means power automate will not be active for 30 days. in that case will power automate de-activates? Please help us here.

    Two options.

    1. upgrade to a paid (or higher subscription if already paying) 

    2. Create a scheduled flow that runs every 25 days (to give yourself a buffer in case of error) 

     

    With option 2 you can play around with the values it inserts into the list, then filter that out of the automated run. 

     

    So a title value you could put ~This Is A Recurring Automated Refresh~

     

    then in the automated flow, put a condition as the top of the flow, and test for title value. If title value matches your "throwaway" automated entry, then terminate flow. This will trick the automation into thinking it's active without triggering a useless email.
