Flow condition that matches multiple words

Posted on by needso

Hi everyone. I'm new to flow, but finding it very interesting and I've already used it for a few repetative tasks around the office.. Is it possible to achieve the following within an advanced condition perhaps?

I need to count or 'match' two words in an incoming email body.. The two words are triggered & cleared. If the word 'triggered' occurs more than 'cleared' continue with the flow (YES).. If not, the flow will end (NO).

If the above is possible, could you maybe give me a few pointers of how to set it up? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi @needso,

Could you please share a bit more about the incoming email body?

Do you want to count the amount of the word 'triggered' and the word 'cleared' within the email body?

If you want to count the amount of the word 'triggered' and the word 'cleared' within the email body, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your time.. Below is an example email body as requested. I need some way to distinguish when there is a 'triggered' alert that doesn't have a corresponding 'cleared' within the email.. Hence my request for counting the two words.. Can you think of another way to achieve the requirement?

Just let me know if you need anything else. Thanks again

Matt
