Flow using Sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 18

I'm using a sharepoint list as a trigger for a flow.  I have 3 options in one field and when one specific option is selected I need a message to go to a specific individual.   I used "when an item or file is modified" and have a condition set up on the specific field that I'm looking for a specific response.  I've trouble figuring out how to list the condition, so it only looks for the one response.   I've selected the field and indicated if it 'contains' my final option, to send a message.  When I run the flow, the results come up false.

    Hi @OlsonBeth 

     

    If the string you are comparing is an exact match, then pls use "is equal to" operation instead of "contains" in the condition action.

    If you are still facing the same issue, pls share the screenshots of the flow to understand the condition you have used there.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @OlsonBeth ,

     

    As you have 3 options in the field, "Switch" is more recommended.

    You can determine which individual you would like to send email to in the 3 separate branches. Refer to this link for an example: Add switch actions to workflows - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Learn

    In the Law/EPO field there are 3 options.  When a record is modified and both options are included an email notification needs to be sent.

    Hi @OlsonBeth 

     

    As overall result for the condition needs to be true when either of the two conditions are true so you need to use 'Or' operator instead of 'And' as shown below:

    ManishSolanki_0-1689092864683.png

    Pls select 'Or' operator from the drop-down menu and test the flow.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    @ManishSolanki  I need the notification to be sent when both conditions are met (EPO Review Complete and Law review complete)

    Any additional thoughts on how to make this flow work?  Again, I would like the notification to be sent when both the Law Review Complete and EPO Review Complete is entered in the field.  These two reviews are done by different people at different times.  Once both options are entered, an email notification needs sent. 

    Thank you
