Weird bug sending clipboard to Evernote by email

would need emails and account data to run

I made a flow that copies the contents of the clipboard, if changed, to a variable. Then it checks if WIFI is connected. Then if WIFI is connected, it next checks if Moon Reader app is active, and if it is, it emails the variable text to the relevant folder in Evernote. If Moon Reader (flyersoft) is not active it checks if Repligo PDF reader (cerience) is active, and if it is, it emails the text to a different folder in Evernote. So far so good. That all works well. But if I carry on like this, with more conditions (i.e. checking more apps), it sends 3 copies of the email to the relevant Evernote folder. For example if the PDF reader app is not active it then checks if the Guardian app is active, and if it is, emails to my Guardian folder in Evernote....but it sends 3 copies! Similarly if the Guardian app is not active it checks if gReader is active...and if it is it sends 3 copies of the text to my gReader folder in Evernote.

So after checking two different apps, any more apps cause the email to send 3 copies of the clipboard text to Evernote.

I have tried changing the email account after the first 2 apps....... still sends 3 copies for any subsequent apps.
I have tried making it execute a separate flow if neither of the first 2 apps is running, so that the subsequent apps are checked in a different flow...... no help..... it still sends 3 copies of the clipboard text variable.

I attach the flow with my personal details removed.... though I note that it still shows one of my email addresses.

Any suggestions ?? Am I crazy, or is there a bug?

Hi,

The flow looks good to me. I see that you also write the content of the clipboard to a text file. Is the clipboard text also appended three times to the text file?
Did you already check the log to see if the flow is executed three times or if the mail action is executed three times (on the flow list: menu->Manage->Log)?

Do you have some kind of forwarding rules defined in you mail account that could duplicate the mail?

Regards,
Martin

Thanks for your response. I have just forwarded a log file to you. This log was generated after copying to the clipboard from gReader, which is the 4th app checked. As usual it sent the email to evernote 3 times, and it also appended the text 3 times to the text file on the SD card of my Nexus 7.

Thanks for your help.
(log and flow forwarded to info@automagic4android.com)
