The format of your date should be 'yyyy-MM-dd'. When working with an automated trigger in your flow, you should consider using Trigger Conditions. This way your flow will only trigger when the item created meets your criteria rather than trigger each time an item is created and run a condition check.
If you are using an Automated Cloud flow trigger in your flow—you need to consider adding trigger conditions.
Do YOU 🫵 know what a trigger condition is? Trigger conditions can be set in most flow triggers. These conditions you set must be true for the trigger to fire. In this Power Automate tutorial, I’m going to show you how to use trigger conditions in your flows to control when your Power Automate flows trigger.
If your plan has flow run limits—you can avoid triggering your flows unnecessarily by using trigger conditions.
I’ll cover four different flow examples that would benefit from trigger conditions:
⚡️ Triggering a flow when a column is changed to a specific value
⚡️ Triggering a Flow When an Event Updated or Deleted
⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a New Folder is Created
⚡️ Triggering a Flow When a Specific Email is Received I’ll also show you a trick on how to easily create the expressions needed and give you a few tips on how to troubleshoot your flow.
