Posted on by batvan276 206

I am trying to create a flow that will continue to monitor an existing list - 

 

If I input data in a specific field  would like it to automatically send an email

 

The column I created is a single line text - I will be inputting numbers only - My flow keeps failing

    Hi @batvan276 :

    Firstly, let me explain why you encountered this problem.

    The point is data type. The value of ‘BusinessXXX’ is a string but 0 is an Integer. Flow cannot compare a string and an integer which is larger or smaller.

    Secondly, If ‘BusinessXXX’ is a number saved in text format, then you can use the int function to convert it to a number. For example:

    v-bofeng-msft_0-1607653271664.jpeg

     

    Reference Expression:

    int(triggerOutputs()?['body/Businessxxxx'])

    Best Regards,

    Bof
