Server Backups Form And A Flow To Email Me When A Failure Is Chosen

Posted on by jeromep

Hi,

I have a Form with 27 questions about server backups (a question for each backup). The responses will be Yes, No, Complete With Exception and there's an Other field where I can put in notes. This form allow multiple answers too.

I created a Flow for the first two questions on the Form and they worked great. Simple conditions to email me when the answer doesn't contain 'Yes'. I could answer either one individually and not get notified of the other since it was left blank.

I thought I was ready to go down the line and do the other 25 flow conditions, but as soon as I added the third condition (named 'Iron', set up identical to the previous two), the flow started emailing me failures of the other two questions even though no answer was given.

Again, it didn't do this with just the first two items. So I'm hoping to get some assistance with how I should set this up. A screenshot of my Flow is below.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @jeromep,

Thanks for posting to the Flow Forum!

Since your question inquires about set up assistance, and as Flow Community Admin, I will move your thread to the General Flow Discussion Forum so more community members are likely to read and respond.

Cheers,

Hi @jeromep,

Do you want to send failure emails to you when the answer doesn't contain 'Yes'?

I think there is something wrong with the formula within your Condition box of your flow, even though, a specific answer is left blank, the Condition would return true, so the flow would go into "If/yes" branch of your Condition box.

You could consider take a try to modify your flow as below:

Within Condition box, click "Edit in advanced mode", type the following formula:

@or(contains(body('Get_response_details')?['r82c1bf4fcdf743c28a0b8d4fe354953b'], 'Yes'),empty(body('Get_response_details')?['r82c1bf4fcdf743c28a0b8d4fe354953b']))

Note: The 'r82c1bf4fcdf743c28a0b8d4fe354953b' in above formula represents the answer to the question within my forms. You could get it with the following steps:

1. Add a Condition, within left input box, type a answer to question dynamic content:

2. Then click "Edit in advanced mode", the answer to question would be converted into following formula:

Awesome. That seemed to work for these first 3 items on my list, I'll keep going. Thanks again Kris!
