Switch Condition Not Sending Approval or Declined Emails

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello, 

I have a flow with a switch condition to send emails when the Status Column changes in a SharePoint list. One email should be send when the status is set to Approved and a different email should be sent when the status is switched to declined. 

Here is the flow:

StatusValue2.jpg

When I try to run the flow, it looks like it is capturing the changes but fails to send the email. It just goes to the default. 

 

StatusValue3.jpgStatusValue4.jpg

I am not sure how to correct this so that it will send the correct emails. 

 

Thank you for your help!

    @KatyKir2023 Can you check to see if you might have a trailing space? The Switch action looks for an exact match.

    If there is a trailing space, the Switch action will not find a match. The trailing space might be in your dynamic content or in the Switch case.
