Power Flow trigger when a specific column changes

Posted on by DWD76

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 🙂

@rampprakash

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!
