Power automate to trigger when a dataverse column has change of date and not modified

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jpreston4 171

Hi

We have a daily flow (Microsoft Center of Excellence) that updates all the Apps and the App modified date.

The Dataverse 'when a rows is modified' trigger allows you to specify the column that has been modified. But it runs for all rows and everyone gets modified even if its just overwriting the same date.

 

Any ideas on how to trigger it based on CHANGE and not MODIFIED ?

    Hi @jjpreston291,

     

    Just to double check. Are you using the Select columns field in your action?

     

    Normally you should be able to use the Select columns field for this in the trigger action. When you specify a select column the flow should only trigger when that specific column value changes. 

     

    Below is an example in the Learn documents which shows how to use this field:

    Btw, with a Filter Rows you can make it even more specific and check the value of the field itself.
