Power Flow trigger when a specific column changes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 37

Please help. 

 

I have an app that is entering form data into a custom data entity in Dataverse.  There is a flow that I need to trigger when a specific column is set to 'Yes'  This is a choice column not a Yes/No column.   However I have tried using Select Rows/Filters and tried a couple of different expressions like 

@equals(triggerBody()?['crf80_Resubmit_For_Approval']?['Value'],'Yes')  but nothing triggers.  Anyone able to make this work when a specified column has a specified value?

    @DWD76 

    To make a flow trigger on a specific column you need to use OData expression on your Row Filter so it should look like:

    crf80_Resubmit_For_Approval eq true

    Since I'm not using a Yes/No type column and a Custom Choice column does it have to have "true" or would it need to be "Yes" which is the choice I want to trigger on?

     

    In other words should it be like this? crf80_Resubmit_For_Approval eq 'Yes'

    Here is a screenshot of what I am trying.  This works when crf_resubmit_for_approval is modified, however, I ONLY want this to work when the value is set to 'Yes' .  I tried setting the filter rows several different ways using the display name, the crf80..... name.  everything I try to enter does not work.

    Here is the actual field in my custom dataverse entity.

    Hi @DWD76 

     

    You can follow the below steps

     

    1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com

    2. Expand Dataverse --> Select Table --> Open your table

    3. Click Columns and Open the Column crf80_resubmit_for_approval --> Click Edit Choices --> You will see your options there (yes,no) now select Yes and Copy the value (eg) 1,00,000 (remove comma and copy it as 100000)

    4. Now in Filter Rows use crf80_resubmit_for_approval eq 1000000

     

    That's it 🙂

    Thanks man.....using the value assigned to the choices rather than the clear display text seemed to do the trick.

    I have the a related question. What if the column type is not a lookup field or choices but rather just text input?

    What I'm trying to do is send a mail whenever the Email column gets modified.

    Any way I could accomplish that????

     

    Thanks in advance!
