I want to create a subject filter so that if the subject contain (36456) or (36146) or (36453) , it will run ...

However, I put (36456) or (36146) or (36453) in the Subject Filter it didn't work as expect...

Did I miss something ?

Thanks

The subject filter in the trigger is for basic strings not logic. Instead, leave it blank and add a condition action after the trigger with this expression:

or( contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], '36456'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], '36146'), contains(triggerOutputs()?['body/subject'], '36453') )

Then put your actions in the "Yes" branch.

To add to the solution proposed by @Infamous_Let, do not put your entire flow in the Yes branch. this can lead to nesting limit issues if your flows get too advanced (there is an 8 level nesting limit). Instead, in the No branch put a Terminate action to shut down the flow is the subject doesn't match, then allow your flow to run as normal below that Condition action.
