Flow for when an existing item is modified in a list

Hi all!

Using the flow template for "When an existing item is modified", I set up an email alert to be sent to certain recipients. I only want an email sent when an already created item is edited. However, the flow I have now sends an email even when a new item is created saying it has been modified. I attached a picture of the flow I have now.

Also, is it possible to send only one modified email a day? Like for the end of the day, it alerts of all modifications? 126148-flow.png

Hi @Bhavana-5217 ,

Per my test this is the behavior by default. When an existing item is modified is actually When an item is created or modified.

Similar posts for your reference:
Flow: Existing item is modified triggers when a new item is created in Sharepoint list
SharePoint: When an existing item is modified not trigger each modification within same minutes

If you use the Sharepoint Connector Trigger for When a Sharepoint item is created or modified and then a Switch case:

Modification Mail to be sent only once for specific column changes
