I have a power automate flow like this

2. list rows

3. apply to each: relate rows

4. apply to each: condition

    if form field is equal to table column 1

    and table column 2 is equal to True

                if yes       if no

 

I need the 'if no' section to show an error message to the user. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help!

    Yeah I'm trying to validate the form field using another tables data. I was trying it using JQuery but I can't figure out how to reference the other table in the code. So I tried seeing if I could do it using Automate.

    Hi @elll 

     

    If I understand your problem correctly, according to this thread (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Get-error-message-for-the-action-on-failure/m-p/311666#M7655), the get error message as dynamic content is currently unavailable as a direct action in Power Automate.

    Hi @elll 

     

    What's the purpose of the flow?  If you are trying to do data validation on the form, that should be done at the time the form is being filled in.

     

    I don't know the details of what you are doing but the flow will run after the form is submitted.  So there's no immediate, in your face way to alert the user at that point.  You can send an email or other similar means of communication.  In the No section of the Condition, choose the appropriate messaging option
