Send e-mail ONLY when certain condition is met!

Posted on 17 Oct 2024 18:03:21 by 17
I already know how to send an e-mail when an item is created in SharePoint. However, I ONLY want the e-mail to send if a certain condition is met for a CHOICE COLUMN. 
 
In my case, I only want the e-mail to send when the "Start Reason" column has "Academic PAM Step 2/SST" 
 
How can I accomplish this? 
 
I already tried two things:
 
 
 
1. Start with the "when an item is created" trigger, go to the settings of that trigger, add a trigger condition, and type in: @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/StartReason/Value'],'Academic PAM Step 2/SST')



 
 
2. Start with the "when and item is created" trigger, add a "Condition" where "StartReason" is equal to "Academic PAM Step 2/SST"
 
 
Please help!!!!!

    I might have found a workaround - creating two separate lists, but thank you for this! I will give it a try!

    Sorry, my Syntax was a bit off.  It should be the following:
     
    @equals(triggerBody()?['StartReason']?['Value'], 'Academic PAM Step 2/SST')
     
    Using a Filter Array action to create the logic helps then switch to Advanced view and copy and paste. just don't fill in the From.  Like this then click the advanced mode link. Delete after you copy the code.

    I just tried this, but it won't send anything. Even in test mode it acts like nothing even got triggered?

    A Trigger condition is the better way to do this, but your condition should be based on the TriggerBody instead of Trigger output.
     
    @equals(triggerBody()?['StartReason/Value'],'Academic PAM Step 2/SST')

    Sorry - I didn't realize that copy pasting images wouldn't work!
