Which Condition expression should I use to branch correctly?

Posted on by sutekhtheflow

I've got a Flow which triggers when an item is added to a SharePoint list.

There's a choice field where the default is 'Send to HOS for decision'. There's a three day delay and if the choice remains at the default the Flow should branch to the left and True to send an email to an internal team.

While the Flow to delayed the choice could be changed to 'Send to relevant CLS' or Send to XXX' which should then branch to the right and False to end the Flow. I've added an email action to alert me that this is what's happening.

I initialized a string variable using the choice field option and that didn't seem to do anything (although I have noticed that in the alert email email that comes to me it shows the up to date choice but with a '/' in front of it)

I added the Get Item after the Delay to get the latest choice value, but now regardless of the choice the Flow always branches to the right and False, even if the choice is still the default of 'Send to HOS for decision'.

Any suggestions on what's going wrong? All help appreciated.

Hi @sutekhtheflow,

After the Get item action, add a Switch action.

Select the choice column from Dynamic content, then use the Value from the dynamic selection to set your cases.

Is Get item the choice field in your list? If so, you need to use the value that contains value after the field name. For example:

Your choice field should have two options like this:

Hi @David_MA

No, the Choice Field is called 'Legal Use Only' for some reason the 'Get Item' action is showing up when I select that Choice Field.

@Kalathiya I'll try the Switch action. Thanks
