I have a flow that monitors a single SharePoint List Item when created. If the List Item is completed and moved to the Archived database prior to the end of the Flow Delay Period, the Flow fails, and I get failure messages from Microsoft.

How can I Terminate the Flow when the List Item is no longer in the original SharePoint List.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Adrian59

You can add "Get items" action with filter query to check if an item exists in the list. Here is an example:

ID eq @{triggerOutputs()?['body/ID']}

Next, we will check the length of output array from the get items. The length will be greater than zero if item exists else it returns zero.

Expression used for calculating the length of output array:

length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])

Pls adjust the name of the get items action in the above expression.

Add terminate action in "Yes" block when item is not found, or length is zero.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Hi Manish
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I understand technically what you are saying but visually it is not working.
This Flow is for 1 SharePoint List Item only. Below is the error I am getting.

Hi @Adrian59

The filter query syntax is incorrect. Pls give space after eq operator.
