When an item is modified only should trigger when a specific column is modified

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 32

I have a Sharepoint list and I only want to run a flow if a specific column value is changed.

By using the Trigger Conditions of the connector the flow triggers also when some other column are changed, but the specific one is remaining as it is in the trigger condition.

 

Chatgpt suggested to add a condition and compare the previous value of the specific one with the value after the change, but a dynamic content I only have one entry for the colum.

 

Would be great if someone could help me

    One way to achieve this is by utilizing the version history of the list item to determine which column has changed. While you might not be able to do this directly in a trigger condition, you can add a condition immediately after the trigger to check for the required modified column. If the required column has not changed, you can exit the flow. For detailed instructions, refer to the link below:

    Good luck!
