Triggering Flow on Access database update

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 249

I have an Access database which is synched with a SharePoint list. I know that there are no connectors for Flow and Access, so what I want to do is trigger the actions based on the list update which is automatic based on database update

The problem that I'm having is that the Access update doesn't seem to "count" as a SP list item update for Flow. In my SP list item metadata, I can see that modified is updating to A few seconds ago every time I update the database and the changes are synching correctly. But the Flow is not being triggered. The Flow is being triggered when I update the item through SharePoint.

Would there be a better trigger for this Flow so that it checks for an item update when the item is not updated through SharePoint?

    It does work, the Flow just takes much longer to trigger than updating the SP list item directly
