Helper IInteraction condition timers and summarizations over time.
Hi all,
I am using a count to summarize the total events for specific objects within an hour bucket.
If there are no events for a specific object, I would like to trigger a powerautomate flow.
now designed it as such:
1) count (random attribute) 1 hour
2) becomes less than 1, stays for 1 hour
3) trigger flow.
But right now, I am receiving my triggers 1h late. I.e., no events between 5-6, i get a trigger at 7 that there were no events.
To my understanding, this happens as no logs where found between 5-6, so the condition became true at 6. Then stayed true until 7 (cuz it doesn't change due to 1 h buckets), hence it was 1 h late.
If I would change (2) to "becomes less than 1", wouldn't my triggers be sent every hour as they always start at 0 for a new hour bucket?
hope you can help, or point me in the right direction.
kind regards.
Kjell
Hi kjellvs ,
For a more immediate response without the additional 1-hour delay, adjusting the condition to "becomes less than 1" is a viable solution. This change should allow the trigger to activate as soon as the condition is met (i.e., when the count becomes less than 1), without waiting for an additional hour.
Condition types fall into the following categories:
You can adjust the type of condition to suit your needs.

kjellvsThanks, makes sense, but that also means that the summarization of 1 hour is only "materialized" (i.e., the value becomes applicable) at the end of the hour, if I am correct?
Hi kjellvs ,
Becomes conditions activate only when the condition becomes true, after having previously been false. For example, “Becomes less than 1” will activate if the value of the property changes from a value of 2 (greater than 1) to a value of 0 (less than 1). It will only activate again when the condition goes from being false to true.
