Flow Trigger-When an Item is created or modified

 

I have created item in SharePoint List and immediately modified the same item ,flow triggered only for version 2 (modified item) but not for Version 1(created item), In Flow history there is no trace for this.

    It's a known issue from 2018.

    If you do a test run to your flow or if you simply save the flow again, it will unblock.

    Microsoft simply does not have a solution for this old issue. They are not able to discover the root cause of the problem that causes a freeze to a flow, preventing it to be automatically triggered.

    Hi @v-alzhan-msft ,

    I have tried now and this issue is still there, Below two are result cases for two different item.

    Successful Case -I created an item , immediately flow run  

    Failure Case- I created another item and wait but flow not ran then I modified the item and checked the flow history-Now flow ran only on updated item (version -2) of this item.

    Hi @vishalgoyal2472 ,

     

    Could you please make a test again and check if your issue still exists.

    It is very strange since we haven't encountered the problem.

     

    Best Regards,

    Alice

    Hi

    Are you using a conditional trigger?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlow/comments/df0v31/conditional_trigger_tutorial_for_microsoft_flow/

    If not, my only suggestion is to recreate the flow from scratch. IN the old days it used to be a pain in the ass, now we can group our actions in scope and copy them to coplipboard, it is less painful

    Hope this helps

    Hi @vishalgoyal2472 ,
    Did you reproduce the issue again? Or is it everything up and running as expected?
    Thanx!

    Hi @vishalgoyal2472 ,

     

    There is no any special time need to wait before you want update the item.

    And I think the flow would work event though you don't wait, maybe just 1 second.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    @v-alzhan-msft 

    I have wait for 1-2 minutes, do we have to wait for more time after we create the item, Is there any specific time we have to wait?

    Hi @vishalgoyal2472 ,

     

    Please take a try with @efialttes 's suggestion.

    The flow would be triggered when an item is created and when the item is modified.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
