Solved: Multiple Triggers on single flow

Multiple Triggers on single flow

Hello,

I have a flow that I would like to setup multiple triggers on. The first action is When and item is created or modified. The trigger is based on a choice column, when that column is modified it sends an email, I cannot get more than 1 trigger working though, as soon as I add an additional one it breaks.

Here is my trigger expressions

Here is the conditions

for an AD-37 item, if the request type is AD-37 AND if the status is Send to Counsel > send email

Again for an AD-37 item, if the request type is AD-37 AND if the status is Request Signature > send email

Here is the list with the Status column being the choice column

If I just leave the first trigger based on 'Send to Counsel' it will send the email fine. When I add an additional trigger - Request Signature, then change the Status from Send to Counsel to Request Signature it doesn't trigger. What am I doing wrong here? Would appreciate if someone could help!

Here is the full flow

Thanks!

@aaeaea The issue with your Trigger Conditions is the logic. You've entered these Trigger Conditions as two separate conditions and as it states under the title, the expressions must be true for the trigger to fire.

The current logic is set up where the item's status value is equal to "Send to Counsel' and 'Request Signature'.

You need a single expression to check if the status value is equal to "Send to Counsel' OR 'Request Signature'. Combine both your expressions into one:

@or(

expression 1,

expression 2

)

Refer to this section of my YT Tutorial where I show you how to use the Filter Array action to include more than one condition. You can then use the Filter Array expression in your trigger condition. Which I cover in this YT Tutorial:

4 Ways You Can Use Trigger Conditions in Your Microsoft Power Automate Flow

If you are using an Automated Cloud flow trigger in your flow—you need to consider adding trigger conditions.

Do YOU 🫵 know what a trigger condition is? Trigger conditions can be set in most flow triggers. These conditions you set must be true for the trigger to fire. In this Power Automate tutorial, I’m going to show you how to use trigger conditions in your flows to control when your Power Automate flows trigger.

If your plan has flow run limits—you can avoid triggering your flows unnecessarily by using trigger conditions.

I’ll cover four different flow examples that would benefit from trigger conditions:

⚡️ Triggering a flow when a column is changed to a specific value

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When an Event Updated or Deleted

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a New Folder is Created

⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a Specific Email is Received I’ll also show you a trick on how to easily create the expressions needed and give you a few tips on how to troubleshoot your flow.
