Nesting Triggers

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
I am attempting to nest an "On Change" trigger under a "New Item" trigger rather than create two flows. I would like, for example, an email to go out when an item is first created, but afterwards, only send out emails after the Status field is updated. When I place the On Change trigger under the email action, it just sits there, and the change never gets noticed.
 
Am I destined to have two different flows?

    Hi please share your flow. Saying things like I placed xyz in a visualized tool without sharing... makes my brain explode.
     
    Also I am assuming you are taling about SharePoint. again you dont mention you just say New Item
     
    For SharePoint the trigger is the same for new or modified so I dont know what On Change even means, since I cannot see it.
     
    Are you doing this in Teams? In PAC? In PAD?
     
    That being said, you can easily check if a current Trigger is for a New or Modified Item
    You can then further check IF its a Modified, that your specific column has changed, using the Get Changes. Of course you can also write a Trigger Condition
     
    Long story short, with my guesses I have to make, thats your answer.
     
    Please mark as the answer if it helps you and hopefully in the future :-) the feedback will help us who try to help you.
