Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello, what could be wrong with my condition? I am using the trigger - When an item is created of modified, and I added condition so I can get 2 different emails (1 for item created and 1 for item modified).

I am comparing Created and Modified, however, I keep on getting the email for item modified event if I just created an item.

Add A compose data operation with the below expression:

div(div(mul(sub(ticks(triggerOutputs()?['body/Modified']),ticks(triggerOutputs()?['body/Created'])),100),1000000000),60)

In your condition check if the output of the compose operation is greater than 0 then this means this s modified otherwise if the output = 0 then it is on creation

Thank you so much Mira! 🙂 It workssss 😀😀

Sorry, I have follow up question, I am also trying to Create/Update my outlook calendar to sync with the Sharepoint Calendar, I added a column in sharepoint 'Calendar new ID', I'm trying to store the ID of newly created event there, so I can pass it to Update event(v4). I'm not sure how to do it.. Is this correct?

Update Item Sharepoint you need to pass the Id of the list from your trigger and save the event id in the calendar new ID

I got this error when I try to test:
The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Update_event_(V4)' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The resolved string values for the following parameters are invalid, they may not be null or empty: 'id'

can you add a compose data operation before this step and add the field Calender new ID just for troubleshooting

Hi Mira, it's actually working now, thanks!! 🙂 But when I create an item, it will trigger the Create Email, after less than a minute, it will also trigger the Modified email even if I don't change anything on the event. Is it because of the Update item action after Create event (V4)? 🙄

yes unfortunately

but if you want your update to be triggered on specific condition only you can adjust you trigger filter conditions so on your Trigger click settings and click add Trigger Condition
