I am trying to set a trigger condition to initiate When an item or a file is modified step from a calculate columns based on number.

The flow works perfectly with the first two conditions, as soon as I add

@greater(triggerOutputs()?['body/Tot_x0020_Days_x0020_C'], 7)

The flow generates an error:

InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions for trigger 'When_an_item_or_a_file_is_modified' at line '1' and column '20782': 'The template language function 'greater' expects two parameter of matching types. The function was invoked with values of type 'String' and 'Integer' that do not match.'.

I have also tried the trigger condition:

@greater(int(triggerOutputs()?['body/Tot_x0020_Days_x0020_C'], 7))

But I am getting the same error, I have tried to change the column to single text using the formula to return the number int he SharePoint library.

Any ideas on how I can add this trigger?

Hi @mtagliaferri,

I have seen in a couple of blogs that calculated number fields are output as floats:
https://sharepains.com/2018/09/03/microsoft-flow-handling-calculated-fields-in-microsoft-flow/

Can you try this expression as a test instead?
@greater(float(triggerOutputs()?['body/Tot_x0020_Days_x0020_C']), 7.0000000000000)

I know how to add the filename that was modified or added in an expression of a trigger but how can you add the user/name of the individual who actually modifed or added the file as well? The notification in MS Teams displays the owner of the flow but Id like the user to appear in the actual message, see ex below:
