Hi P_work ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Your trigger fires twice because the Copy activity creates temp files first, then renames them. each counts as a "file created" event.
Set the trigger to fire only on final files by:
1. Filtering by file extension (e.g., .csv, not .tmp)
OR
2. Copy to a staging folder, then move the completed file to the monitored folder.
This ensures the trigger fires only once per actual file.
