Automated Email when a specific field is updated in SharePoint Online List

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by spin-man 51

I have a SharePoint Online list with a column called Job Number (Single line of text column type).  When that field ONLY is updated with a job number I want an email to be sent.  Below is currently how I have the flow setup, but it sends and email when anything is updated in the list.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @spin-man 

     

    Go to your trigger SharePoint when an existing item is modified and click the settings. Set the trigger conditions. See below.

    Hi @spin-man ,

     

    I have described the limitations of the current trigger in this similar thread. It cannot monitor whether only the specified fields have been changed. Currently, this feature is not supported.

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Flow-sends-an-email-with-every-update-and-it-shouldn-t/m-p/381110#M43035

     

    You need to check the version history to see if the field value of the current version is the same as the field value of the previous version. But in this case, not only one field is changed, but the specified field is also changed in this change.

    Please refer to the method described in this blog:

    Check-for-a-Change-in-a-SharePoint-List-Column-Value

     

    Hope that makes sense.

     

    Best Regards,
