Formula Field Update

Hello,

I've currently got a pipeline that is triggering based on a Checkbox - Formula Field. The formula returns true if a file is uploaded. The first time that I trigger this, it works as expected, and my pipeline then processes, and deletes the attachment (Via an API call).

The problem, is that the 2nd time I try to upload a file to the same file attachment field, the pipeline not be called again. I've even added a field to update at the end of the pipeline so that the record is saved again.

I know that in general you should avoid using Formula Fields to process this flow, but I'm a bit at a loss how else I could detect if a file is uploaded or not (more than once, at least).

what's the formula?

i'm assuming that you mean that you have the formula-checkbox as the condition on the Record Update step... so if it's not triggering the second time. you'll have to provide what the formula is doing so we can help you. Is it really just checking whether there is a filed attached on a field?
