Hello,

Could you do me a favor?

My scenario is

Send to employee is yes (choice column in SP), the email will be sent to the employee.

I added this below to the setting trigger of the 'when an item is created or modified'

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/SendtoEmployee_x003f_'], 'Yes')

This is my workflow. But there is an infinite loop. Could you do me a favor?

@SudeepGhatakNZ
Thank you for helping.
The condition is if the column "send to employee' is yes. (that is a choice column in SP)

Should I use "@not(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Editor/Email'],'SPconnectionaccount@company.com'))" for the setting in the item is created and modified? I did, but still I saw the warning " an infinite loop"

@happyyear

The warning message may persist because the flow engine may not have sufficient information to determine the validity of the trigger condition. To verify the functionality of your flow, you can conduct a test by toggling the field value between "Yes" and "No" to observe if the trigger is activated only when there is a "Yes". If the trigger condition is functioning correctly, you can confidently disregard the error message and proceed with your workflow.

Thank you for your help.
Does it mean I need to create one column and add a toggle as a condition to the SP list? I am sorry that I didn't understand correctly.

No what I meant was just test if your flow triggers when the SendtoEmployee_x003f_field is "No".

If it doesn't, then you can safely disregard the warning

Hello,
@SudeepGhatakNZ
I got it.

Just in case,
1. @Anonymous(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Editor/Email'],'SPconnectionaccount@company.com'))
Does this one to enter the setting trigger condition sometimes not work?

That trigger condition you have provided means the flow will trigger only email of the person modifying the list is SPconnectionaccount@company.com
