How to compare fields on a sharepoint list before an action

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

I'm new on Power Automate and I'm creating a flow that starts when a new item is created in a Sharepoint list. Then it must do the following based on the created item:

- If field "Type"="PC" -> send an approval to the person in field "Approver"

- If field "Type"="Mobile" and field "Employee" = field "Approver" -> send an approval to the user in field "Approver"

- If field "Type"="Mobile" and field "Employee" != field "Approver -> send an email to the user in field "Approver"

 

I don't know how to add the condition to check the fields "Type", "Employee" and "Approver" after the trigger "When an item is created". Could you please help me?

    There are a few ways to do it but the easiest is just nested ifs ( I wouldnt go past nest of 2)
