Flow to trigger once if more than field is updated in Share point list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by navaidm 76

I have a flow that triggers when "an item is created or modified in share point list"

When triggered the flow sends an email to designated recipient.

 

If a user modifies more than one field in share point  list item then the flow triggers more than once and sends multiple emails.

 

Is it possible for flow to delay the trigger for some time to allow the user to update all the fields in the item and send one email only?

    In the Settings for the trigger you could disable the Split On setting. This will result in you getting an array of updates. You might still get multiple triggers coming through if you are a bit unlucky but it should help a lot.

     

    Now of course you will need to handle the multiple items in the array for a single SharePoint item.

    Hi @navaidm ,

     

    It seems that you can create SharePoint Alerts directly instead of using Power Automate to achieve your needs, sending a daily summary to the specified user.

    create-an-alert-to-get-notified-when-a-file-or-folder-changes-in-sharepoint 

    This will avoid sending duplicate email notifications.

     

    Best Regards,

    @PieterVeenstra  I am not conversant with handling arrays. Do u have a screen shot that can share?

    @v-bacao-msft The email needs to go to others based on amended value. I dont think this would work
