I'm reviewing Flow Designer and noticed there are four options available using "Updated" and "Created or Updated" Triggers.
- Once
- For each unique change
- Only if not currently running
- For every update
Who knows what's the difference between these two options?
"For each unique change"
"For every update"
Solved! Go to Solution.

Olá @MAJID_Z,
In ServiceNow's Flow Designer, the "For each unique change" and "For every update" options for record triggers determine when a flow is executed based on record modifications. "For each unique change" triggers the flow only when a non-system field's value changes to a unique state, meaning it won't re-trigger if the value reverts to a previous state. Conversely, "For every update" triggers the flow every time the record is updated, regardless of whether the change is unique or if the flow is already running
Record Triggers
- Once: runs only once for the record.
- For each unique change: runs only for each unique change to the record.
- Only if not currently running: runs only if a flow is not already running for the record.
- For every update: runs every time the record is updated to meet the condition unless a flow is already active for the record.
Please, accept as solution if it answers your question, to close this topic unless you have some further questions.
