Setting a Trigger Condition on a flow to only fire if a specific column was modified

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 17

Good afternoon,

 

I have several flows that run when a column is modified. The column being modified is for Tracking Number. I have a condition to check if the column changes and a few other conditions. The flow is firing on every change and i'm getting a ton of running flows. I tried to add a Trigger Condition, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a way to set a flow to only fire if there's a change to a specific column? The column won't ever have the same info since it's a tracking number, I tried using @equals(triggerBody()?["columnname'],true), but nothing happens when I add info to that field within that column.

    Hi @wmiller ,

     

    We can't do this by setting the trigger directly, because a trigger does not return information about whether a column has been modified. But we can cancel the flow while it is running. I've made a test for your reference:
