We have the following SharePoint document library:-

now we want to run a flow only when the user Publish the document (when its status is changed from Draft to Pending), so i tried this trigger condition:-

 

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{_ModerationStatus}'],2)

    @johnjohn123 I believe when using the trigger you have used will not contain the moderationStatus. Consider using the trigger "When a file is created or modified (properties only)" instead.

     

    The Trigger condition should be:

     

    @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{ModerationStatus}'],'Pending')
