When Item Created check for List item before continuing

Posted on by 41

I have a flow that triggers upon the creation of a creation in Sharepoint List. Problem is that sometimes several lines can be added at one time, and it is causing my flow to run for each time a line is created instead of once for all line items. 

 

I have Concurrency Control set to limit to only allow one run at a time so at least they are not messing the data up but the first flow to run deletes the data, so the subsequent flows are sending blank emails and it is getting annoying.

 

Any suggestions or guides for how to either setup a check for if there is still data in my list and if not terminate the flow or for it to only run once even though I have 1-20 lines created at one time?

    @TestUser112233  you can try by putting Get Item action on top of your flow just below the trigger, get the item by using ID from the trigger output. If item exists the flow goes ahead otherwise it will error out.

    I knew it had to have a simple solution! The number of hours I spent googling different terms and looking for a solution is ridiculous. Thank you!
