Two flow instances start within seconds of each other

I have a simple approval flow when a CDS record is created. Problem is, when I create a CDS record, two instances of the flow start within seconds of each other.

    Hi @DarrenGreen ,

     

    Could you provide more details about you the issue you encounter?

    Do you mean that you have two similar Flows and they will be triggered if a new record is created?

    Please provide more explanation about the issue so that we could provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi. When I create a new record in CDS it triggers the same flow (an approval flow) twice. The flows start seconds apart from each other.

    Hi @DarrenGreen ,

     

    Could you show the screenshot of the Flow configuration?

    Hi @DarrenGreen ,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    Whether there is an action such as Create record in the flow, and if so, the flow may be triggered again.
