I am not sure what is wrong with my flow. It keeps sending multiple email notifications when condition 2 is met. Look forward for any advise 🙂

Re: Email notification sent many times

Hi @Fiskan

One question, do you need to trigger the flow only when the item modfiied has Approval Status Value as empty ?

if yes then change the trigger condition to this :

@empty(string(triggerOutputs()?['body/ApprovedStatusValue']))

Here you go @Nived_Nambiar for the no branch flow. and there is no error per se, there is just long runtime. it takes awhile to run and eventually nothing shows up.

@Nived_Nambiar just to add on, even my 2 trigger cond after putting single quotes, it causes runtime for my flow. 😞

Hi @Fiskan

Also give a try with this trigger condition only 🙂

This will trigger the flow when the status is not rejected

@equals(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/ApprovedStatusValue'],'Rejected'),false)

Let me know whether it helps you as well 🙂

Re: Email notification sent many times

Hi @Nived_Nambiar ,

Thank you for the input. The trigger condition is for me to set a flag to stop the flow from rerunning. 🙂
But now that you mentioned about using the status field...i am giving it a shot.
I am trying to add trigger condition as such but got an error:
Anyway here is my update item details:

Re: Email notification sent many times

Hi @Fiskan

I got why the flow sends the email notification multiple times, when condition2 is satisfied, the Yes branch updates the same list item and sends the email, since the list item is updated it agains the trigger the same flow which causes the flow to trigger.

Also i need to know about the trigger condition which you have placed there , could you give more context of that?

Also looking at update item , you are updating item as rejected, may be we can create a trigger condition which checks whether the item status is rejected, if yes not trigger the flow 🙂 ?

Also show what youa re updating in list item 🙂

Let me know 🙂
