Flow Designer flow gets triggered only on first update.

[Dinesh Kumar2]

I have a flow which gets triggered on the update of a record(change of "state" field from "new" to the value "assess").If the record is again updated from "new" to "assess" the flow is not getting retriggered.

Hi Dinesh,

By default, a flow will only trigger the first time the conditions are met of the trigger. To change this, select your trigger and change the option that meets your needs.

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark  Helpful if you find my response helped with your question so other users can find it.
Thanks

Hmm.. unable to find that Last option in my flow editor..any thoughts?? i think the "For every update " will be correct for my needs.

Apologies Dinesh,

The 'for every update' is only an option in Orlando

Hi

As Kieran answered, you can decide, if the flow fires multiple times.

BUT: take care, that multiple fired flows on the same record do not lead to unexpected behavior.

Maybe in that case, you should think about using a business rule, instead of firing your flow several times.

This may lead you to a much clearer and cleaner implementation of your solution.

Let me know if that helped to solve your issue and mark my answer as correct/helpful.
