Posted on by giustis5

I am creating a Flow that sends an email when a new item is added to a SharePoint list, i only want to send the email however if a specific value is in one of the columns within the sharepoint list item. I have configured the step as the image below but it sends the email whenever any item is created irrespective of my filter.

My SharePoint list is called Accidents. It has a choice column in it called Description. The choices available are:

Minor Accident

Major Accident

Serious Accident

I want to send the email only when the value selected is Serious Accident. As well as the below Filter i have also tried:

Filter( Accidents, Description = "Serious Accident")

but this did not work either. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

In theory you'd type in something like "Description eq 'Serious Accident'". Some good articles for sharepoint odata syntax here (http://www.trigent.com/blog/introduction-to-rest-api-with-odata-operators-in-sharepoint-2013/) and here (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142385.aspx#bk_supported).

However, I personally couldn't get this to work. @SameerCh, any idea if these query strings actually make it through to the sharepoint endpoint?

I couldn't make filters work on Office 365 Calendar Get Events, filter examples I tried are posted at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Forum/Is-Office-365-Get-Events-Filter-Query-working/m-p/2239/highlight/true#M363

Then I found a post on powerapps forum detailing similar filter problems with Sharepoint Get Items. According to response given last 25-april, "filter functionality has not been implemented yet. It's in the plan to support filter query. We don't have a timeline right now." No feedback since then. This second post can be found at:
