Mystery Flow doesn't trigger

Hi fellows,

 

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this flow won't trigger.

The record I'm updating is an IP Firewall CI, where I'm simply changing its name:

Some things I tried:

  • Testing the flow manually works fine. It compiles and activates as expected.
  • Tried to change the flow Run as property, from System to User and back, no effect there.
  • Initially, I was attempting to trigger on cmdb_ci and all its extended tables. I changed the table to cmdb_ci_netgear further down the extended tables, but still nothing. [Edit] Going all the way to IP Firewall didn't help either.
  • I had some conditions initially set, but I removed all of them to see if they were the problem. No luck there.
  • I set more conditions, such as Name changed, but no.

 

I read just about anything and everything on flow triggers. Before I scrap this flow and rebuild it, any ideas on where I should look next? This is a total mystery to me.

Hey @BurtCrepeault,

 

Are you trying to trigger the Flow with every update?

If so, you might want to change the 'Run Trigger' condition to 'For each unique change'

Hope it fixes it, thanks!

As simple as that! Thanks James! Apparently, I hadn't look nearly everywhere enough! 😅
