Condition and multiple emails issue

[Eurosiderscalo]

Hello,
I have a problem with a simple flow and I can't find a solution.
It's a simple flow that write date/hour every time an element is created/modified based on a switch keyword "PESATO".
It work perfect on sharepoint and it write date and hour without any problem.
But... if I add a "send email" to our Teams email group, the flow continue to send multiple emails every 30/40 sec. and also continue to upldate date/hour on sharepoint table.

Is there a way to fix it?

Hi @Eurosiderscalo 

Are you updating the same SharePoint list of the trigger? If so, the trigger triggers again because there was a change in the list (adding the date and time) and therefore sending emails warning people of that change.

Can you please check if this is the case?

No, it doesn't work, the flow continue to send email every very 30/40 sec... is there a way to fix it?

Hi @Eurosiderscalo ,

It is the expected behavior since you have the Update item action for the same list with the trigger.

Hope the link below could help you troubleshooting this issue:

Hi @v-alzhan-msft 

This is a really complex solution and I don't have the knowledge to add API.

Is there a simplest way? Maybe something like: if status X do it one time?

Hi @Eurosiderscalo 

If it's the same list, it will trigger every time. You trigger an update than in the same Power Automate update the same list (it's an update), so the Power Automate triggers again. It's expected behavior that you should avoid for the reasons you're watching now.

@v-alzhan-msft solution will help.
