Is this expected Flow Behaviour?

[Rich Burdes]

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...

@Merwan Hade when are we supposed to use this Community Space and when should we use the PowerApps forum? why are there 2 places? this is going to get very confusing, can they be consolidated?

I agree
