SharePoint list item added trigger email with condition

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 17
I'm trying to have the flow triggered if a list item is added AND a category value column is equal to the value set in the flow (i.e. if new item added and column value = A, send email, if not, do not send email).

I can't as far as I can tell place a condition on the trigger of a flow? I have to imagine there's a easy fix.

Now I have a hey user profile action between the trigger and the condition which it's skipped on falling.

Any pointers would be helpful...

    Hi @ NickSz,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    What is the type of the “category column” that you mentioned?

     

    If you want the flow would be triggered when an item is created in the sharepoint list and the value of the category column is equal to a value such as “A”, you couldn’t achieve it until now, because Microsoft flow could support trigger a flow with an item currently, and trigger a flow with an column is not supported in Microsoft flow currently.

    However, you could add a condition under the trigger to check if the value of category column is equal to “A”, if the category value is equal to “A”, then send the email, else if the category value isn’t equal to “A”, do nothing.

     

    I have made a test on my side and I have created a sharepoint list as below:

    The “category” column is a choice type column with value “A”, “B” and “C”.

    I have created a flow as below:

    When an item is created in the list, and the value of “category” column is equal to “A”, the flow would run successfully as below:
