HTTP trigger starting flow run 3 times for each call

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I have an instant flow running from an HTTP URL trigger which is linked in an interactive excel sheet used for collaborative work. For around 3 weeks now, every time the link is clicked, the flow triggers and starts 3 times, leading to repeated emails to external parties (which is part of the flow, but should only happen once per trigger).

I've searched for similar reports, but can't seem to find any.

Any idea of how to manage this? So far I've only gotten around it by canceling 2 of the runs and leaving one.

    I've had this sort of thing happen to me when using a different trigger from a third-party. Only way I could fix it was to create a new flow by saving the first flow as a copy. Deleted the original and then the new one seemed to work fine without any duplicate firings.

     

    Not saying this will definitely be the case for you, but worked for me in a similar scenario.

    Unfortunately it didn't work, but thank you for the reply anyways!

    I am getting this exact same behavior and am unable to find a cause. Creating a new flow seems like an extreme solution, and as mine is in a Solution, I can't use Save As for the duplicate. I am going to try creating a new one with JUST a new trigger and, say, an email message to me or something simple so I can see if that one also runs several times. But if anyone else has found a solution to this, I'd appreciate some insight. Thanks!
