Trigger Condition Using Yes/No Field in SharePoint List

Posted on by PCressey

I am new to Power Apps/Automate and having an issue triggering my flow with a trigger condition. Seems basic enough, but I am clearly missing something.

I have a List in SharePoint and one of the fields is IsSubmission of the Yes/No data type. I want to use this field to trigger my flow if it is Yes.

I have the When an item is created or modified action with the trigger condition @equals(triggerBody()?['IsSubmission']?['Value'],true)

When I submit a new item via my Power Apps form, it is not triggering the flow. The IsSubmission field is checked or marked Yes. Any ideas what is failing here?

The expression on a yes/no field would look like this: @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/IsSubmission'], true). The expression you are using looks like what would be used on a choice field since it contains ['Value'] as part of the expression. And the start of the expression doesn't look correct to me. It is a good practice to add a compose action to your flow and build the trigger condition with the expression builder. You can then test it to make sure it returns true/false. Once you test it, you just need to copy the expression and add "@" before it in the trigger condition.

David_MA already gave you a great solution approach which should work well.

I just wanted to add that the format of the IsSubmission field output value is already a boolean. So, in this case you can simplify the expression by just using:

triggerOutputs()?['body/IsSubmission']
