Sending email once only when two columns has changes in it.

Posted on by 20

I have a list where tickets get submitted via the power app, SP list has various columns such as username, creation time and Priority, status, and Assigned to.

 

The goal here is to send the username of that item when the status of that item changes to In Progress value and the Assigned column has any email (Person) in it.

 

I have tried a few variations of conditions but it keeps triggering itself and sends an email to the user.

 

further more just for the more information, Status column is choice based with 4 choices and Assigned is just people only.

I want to send the email only once when both of these status and Assigned column sees any changes for that item.

 

I hope someone would be able to help me.

 

Thank you in advance.😊

    I have tried it and its sending the email twice. not sure why its being triggered twice. Also when i add assignee email its adds Assignee as output of the first step automatically. Is that normal?

     

    Thank you @v-zhoqian-msft  for looking into it.

    Hi @Poojan ,

     

    Does the Assignee column allows multiple selections?

    Hi @v-zhoqian-msft , it does and the reason behind this multiple selections is that more than one person can be assigned to that ticket and can work together.

     

    Thank you again

    Hi @Poojan ,

     

    Compose in the picture is what I use for testing, it is not required. Compose 2 is used in condition.

    I have tried it but still receiving 2 emails.

    Hi @Poojan ,

     

    When modifying a record, how is it modified?

    Modify the two columns separately?

  • Poojan Profile Picture

    yeah, currently being modified separately. 

    Open an item > assign it to someone and change the status to In Progress or vice versa. but yes being modified separately.
