Power Automate When a record is created trigger

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Mikey M 10

Im working with power automate to send an email when an item is created and have done everything in this exercise on microsoft learn.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/use-power-automate/11-exercise

The issue is when you start filling out fields to create an item in Business Central, the trigger "When a record is created" fires and since item cat code is blank the flow doesn't continue because the other condition is not met. I can resubmit the flow in the flow history and it will run as intended. The only way i have kind of get around this is to fill out Item cat code first but then it sends the email without all the information.

The flow is being triggered to early, before all the fields have info and its causing problems. Has anyone else run into this issue or something like it? Since this flow is taken straight from MS Learn, i will assume that there was some sort of update?

    Thank you that was awesome! I imagine i will have to use a lot of these because i don't see anyone filling out the item card faster than it's triggered.

    Different scenario but I have something mentioned in this blog which might help: joshanglesea.wordpress.com/.../

    You can build in a delay to the flow after the trigger. It’s not perfect but certain delays might need to be longer than others per circumstance.

    I had another flow that was based off a template that was very similar. The template adds an item to a sharepoint list when a new item is created. I went back to that one and its behaving in the exact same way, IE it's getting triggered too early to be of any use and adding mostly blank lines to a list. 

    Here is the template i was refering to
    Create an item in SharePoint when a record is created in Business Central | Microsoft Power Automate

    This is what's happening when i try to use it. Did they recently change how the trigger or Get Record behave? It's just strange that the lessons on MS learn and the templates are not in working order.

    Have you tried using a template with the item category included?

    I suspect it would then work.

    Otherwise, I think your observation is correct that the flow will never meet the second condition.
