Is this expected Flow Behaviour?

Hi Folks,

Random question - I set up a simple Flow test to fire an email if any item in a SP Online list changed.

 

It works when that happens, but also seems to be running every few minutes and saying its failed - i kind of hoped it would only run on an actual change, and not try to run every few minutes and so fail - I'm just thinking the error log is going to balloon out needlessly as a result?

 

So wondering if this is expected or just as its in preview?

Cheers

Rich

  • I have the same with a flow that I created which puts tweets from a specific source in an Excel file on OneDrive. It works as it should but appears to be running on a time based schedule instead of running when something actually happens (triggered). I suppose this is still to be considered as 'work in progress'...

      Have you check the status in the "successesAndFailures"? Please check it , you came to know where it goes wrong.

       

      For example

       

      Check the Flow is in "ON" status.

       

      In Addition, MS Flow is at very early stages and there are a lot of areas of improvements. Hope someone from the MS Team can advice us how to troubleshoot issues with Flows.

       

      Thanks...
