Can't get conditional to work

Posted on by bthewinner

Hi I created a Form that adds the answers to the form into an excel file.

I would like a notification to be sent to two different people based on the answer (using dynamic content) from either the Form or from the Excel row that the answer gets recorded onto, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

Right now I'm just sending emails to myself with different subjects depending on if the condition is met or not.

Hi!

" it doesn't seem to be working."

So what's the problem? Are you receiving no email? Is the condition not working properly, so no matter the input it evaluates always to false?

Thanx!

@efialttes The condition isn't working properly.
It always comes back as false.

Hi again!

Two suggestions:

-in your condition try to remove 'equals' operator and use 'contains' instead

-if it does not work, then add a Compose action block just before your condition, assign as its value the same Dynamic content you are using in the condition. Reexecute the flow, inspect and share Compose content

Hope this helps

@efialttes I changed it to contains and the condition still failed.
I then added the Compose action block and put 'outputs' from the Compose action block as the value that should be contained in the condition.
And it looks like it came back as true, but it comes back as true if I choose either of the two options in the Form.

I then re-read what you said about assigning it's value as the same dynamic content and so now it looks like this:
And it worked! Thank you!
