Flow Triggering Multiple Times for Flagged Emails_When an email is flagged_Create a task in planner

Hello Power Automate Community,

I am currently experiencing an issue with my flow in Power Automate. The flow is designed to create a task in Planner when an email is flagged. Here is the setting of activity "when an email is flagged":

However, I am encountering a problem where the flow is being triggered multiple times for a single flagged email, resulting in three identical tasks being created in Planner.

Here is how the flow is built:

I am not sure why this behavior is occurring and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community on how to resolve this issue.

thanks a lot,

Francesco

I wouldn't know what would trigger the flow multiple times, but you can add a condition before Create task to check if a task with that name already exists.

You can use a combination of List tasks and a filter.

Ciaooo,
Hope all good.
I have tried to insert the activities as you suggested. In this case the robot is working when i flag for the second time the same email. But it still creates two planner tasks the first time that the email is flagged:
I really don't get it. I inserted the activities you've suggested immediately after the trigger, in order to avoid performing actions if the flow should stop immediately due to duplicates.

thanks,

Francesco
