Flow: Existing item is modified triggers when a new item is created in Sharepoint list

[Alam]

How do I resolve this?

I have two flows and both are being triggered when a new item is created.

hello

@Alamsince the initial post was written some things have changed from Microsoft Flow.

I did follow what is written at the post like in the picture below

 i have two flows:

• one for the new items with name "TEST - NEW"
• one for the edited items with name "TEST - EDIT"

my problem is that when I create a new item then it also kicks in the Edit flow with name "TEST-EDIT".

any idea of what I am doing wrong?

thank you

Hi @kouliscon 

that trigger does not work properly, because Created and Modified date are Always different by a few seconds. 

I can recommend to you to Format those Dates, so you only have date, Hours and minutes left, no seconds. 

After that you can compare Created and Modified date. Like this:

Here are the formulas:

Compose : 

formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Created'],'dd/MM/yyyyTHH:mm')

Compose 2:

formatDateTime(triggerBody()?['Modified'],'dd/MM/yyyyTHH:mm')

Write these formulas into the Expression section, not directly into the Inputs field.

Best,

Hilal

There's an easier way to get ONLY WHEN MODIFIED.

Select the trigger: When an item is created or modified.

Click on the ...

Click Settings

Scroll down to Trigger Conditions

Click + Add

Enter this: @not(equals(triggerBody()?['Created'],triggerBody()?['Modified']))

Click Done

I hope this helps somebody at some point in the future. 🙂
