Data Alerts - Firing Multiples and Firing without Dataset Update

[awright19]

I have several data alerts set up that trigger Power Automate flows. For some reason, I'm suddenly getting alerts firing when the dataset hasn't been updated and I'm getting some duplicate firings. This is causing duplicate emails. It's only on some alerts, some are working just fine. I've double checked all of the related alerts and flows and all looks fine.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

These have been working for many months without this duplication issue occurring. I've never had anything fire every minute. If the data isn't updated, the Power BI alerts don't fire and therefore, the Flows shouldn't be triggered.

I'm going to dig back into this today and see if rebuilding the Flows fixes things.

Hi  @awright19 ,

According to research, this is normal. If your flow is the following "Every Minute"> "Calculate"> "Send email", then you will receive an email every minute because it is triggered every minute.

For example, if you want to receive the emails every 30 minutes, add the following formula in the "Condition."

utcNow('mm')
