I want the trigger to send an email when this copy contains a date. What am I doing wrong with the string?

Use this expression, you don't need the 'null' comparison

@not(empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/Datesenttotest']))

Re: Power Automate Trigger Conditions

Thank you! It does run, but once something is in the column, if someone changes another column, the flow kicks off again since now the field is no longer empty. What condition can I put for it to only run for the first time the column is completed?

Re: Power Automate Trigger Conditions

To enhance the handling process, let's establish a more precise condition:

Consider allowing only two values in the 'Datasenttotest' field, with the default set to "No."

Utilize the following expression:

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Datesenttotest'], 'No')

Within your flow, when setting the value of the field to "Yes," ensure that it doesn't trigger again.
