Create Event V4 keeps skipping!!!!!

Posted on by IG-07011853-0

I'm trying to incorporate a simple flow into my approval request system on my list. I want a calendar event to be created when the approver changes the "Approval Status" to "Approved". I've saved the flow successfully but when the flow runs, it skips the CreateEventV4 step. This is the message that shows up :

ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied

The execution of template action 'Create_event_(V4)' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied.

Please Help!!

I'll attach some screenshots

Edit:

Raw Outputs as requested.

Hi,

For some reason, your condition is always returning as false. Could you please share an image of your trigger's raw outputs containing the ApprovalStatus property value? With the raw outputs, we will be able to investigate how Power Automate is reading your SP List data.

To find the raw outputs, open one of the flow runs where you experienced this issue, select the trigger and click in Show raw outputs, as highlighted below:

I think this portion of the raw output includes the Approval Status property value. I assigned the approval to myself just as a test, but i don't think that would've caused the error.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing it. The error is happening because your ApprovalStatus property is actually an object (highlighted in green). What you actually need is the child property Label, which carries the "Approved" value (highlighted in yellow):

To solve it, just replace your ApprovalStatus dynamic content in the Condition for this expression: triggerOutputs()['body']['{ApprovalStatus}']['Label'].

For more details on Data Types in Power Automate or Working with Objects, you can refer to these articles that I wrote in the past:

- Objects: http://digitalmill.net/2024/02/08/object-data-type-in-power-automate/

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
