Preventing Double-Triggering of Cloud Flows After Migrating to Sandbox Environment

Posted on 11 Aug 2023 06:08:53 by 114

Hello;
I have a question about flows in unmanaged solutions.

Background: I've migrated a solution from the default environment to the Sandbox environment. This solution consists of an app and several flows. Some of these flows are triggered both by the app and by cloud actions (like when an item is added or modified). Now, when I execute the app within the Sandbox environment, the cloud-based flow gets activated twice: once from the default environment and once from the Sandbox.

Question: Do I need to manually deactivate the cloud flows in the Default environment to prevent this double-triggering issue?

    Hi @Angela23 ,

     

    I think that manual flows (button flow, powerapps flow...) do not need to be turned off.

    The affected flows may be automated flow or scheduled flow.

    So I actually need to to do it for when I move the solution to production as well? 
    Is it only cloud flows or also instance triggered flow ( trigger from POwer App or by schedule)?
