Flow and triggerbody()

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I need a Flow to start on a new item and a created item, I see you can start a flow on When an item is created and When an item is created or modified but not When an item is modified so I thought a Switch would be best but cannot figure out what Equals should be for the Case fields. I am assuming I can Switch on @triggerbody some how. I would like the Case equals "Created" and Case equals "Modified" Is this possible?

Hi @Anonymous,

Yes, you can use one condition to judg whether this item is modified or created.
If add one new item it is created,if you change the content of one item it is modified.
I have use one SP list and create the flow to test as the screenshots.
Fistly,create the SP list as the data source and trigger.
Secondly,create the flow using the condition: Modified is equal to Create
If Yes, output:item created
If No, output:item modified

Then modify or create the item in the list to test:
When I create one new item:d
the flow output:item created
then change the title "d" to "c",
the flow output:item modified
Hope this can be helpful.
Best wishes,
xyz

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you want to trigger/fire a flow only when an existing item is modified within your SP list?

The "When an item is modified" trigger has been removed from the SharePoint connector, instead, you need to use the "When an item is created or modified" trigger to detect if there is an item has been modified in your SP list.

If you want to fire/trigger your flow only when an existing item is modified within your SP list, as an alternative solution, I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Please take a try with above solution, then check if your issue is solved.

Note: When a new item is created in your SP list, the flow would be fired but do nothing. If an existing item is modified in your SP list, the flow would be fired and execute the actions you defined within the "If no" branch of the Condition.

Best regards,

Kris

Thank you, this works fine. It's the "Created is equal to Modified" that confuses me. I don't get the logic.
