How to trigger email for making changes to one specific column and excluding the rest?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a Microsoft List with 10 columns. I want to trigger an email to a specific person if I add text to the "Comments" column. If changes are made to the other columns, I do not want an email triggered. 

 

I've created a condition where ["Comments" is not equal to "null"] will trigger an email. The problem is every time I make changes to the remaining 9 columns, it also triggers an email. 

 

How can I fix this?

    Try this:

    The "Since"  in the Get Changes action should be Trigger Window Start Token from Dynamic properties and Until should be Trigger Windows End Token.  The condition is checking "Has Column Changed: Comments" assuming that the column is called comments.

    Please let me know if you have additional questions.
