Condition statement WITHIN the email body

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 96

I have an email that requires an expression or a condition statement to be validated WITHIN the body of the email based on the value of a SharePoint list column. If the field length > 0 then include additional text. I have started playing with creating variables, but unsure of how to implement within the body section of the 'Send to email' action.

    Hi @adove ,

     

    Do you want to show the “dummy” markup dynamically based on the length of the column?

     

    Please try if the following code will work for you. This steatement will retrun Dear <'name'> if the length is greater  than 10, otherwise, it will be blank.

    if(greater(length(triggerBody()?['CC']),10),concat('dear','  ',triggerBody()?['CC']),'')

     

    More details about the WDL functions, please check it at here:

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    Inside the body of a 'Send an email' action I have the following "dummy" markup.

     

    If the SharePoint column <'First Name'> contains text 

    then write the following:

    Dear <'First Name'>,

    We are pleased to announce...

    Hi @adove ,

     

    Do you want to return texts based on the length of a SharePoint list column?

     

    Please try inserting the following condition in the email body to see if it will meet your scenario.

     

     

    if(greater(length(triggerBody()?['CC']),10),'there are more than 10 characters in this field',triggerBody()?['CC'])
    
    

     

    The flow is configured likes below:

    Hi @adove , thank you for your post in the community!

     

    I may be getting the gist of this and could potentially provide a solution but could you please post more detail and some pictures of your Flow so I can best advise?

     

    If you have found my post helpful, please mark thumbs up.

     

    Any other questions, just ask.

     

    Thanks, Alan
