Flow based on yes/no column in OneDrive Business

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Tbruns

I am needing to create a flow that will send an email when a document is modified (Approve Column is checked) in OneDrive Business.

 

I have created content types in OneDrive Business that have specific properties (columns). When a user creates/uploads a document they fill out the properties. I have one that is a Yes/No checkmark field. When the user modifies a document and places a checkmark in the yes/no that is when I want to send the email.

The issue is that it keeps returning "False".

 

How can I get this to return "true"?

    Hi @Tbruns,

     

    Do you want to create a Column in OneDrive for Business and then decide whether you want to send it to the mail by getting this Column value?

    I did a test on my side, unfortunately, the existing action cannot get the value of the custom created Column in OneDrive for Business currently.

    If you want the feature to be supported in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best Regards,

    Barry
