I have a flow that runs when a new item is created.

I need a trigger condition whereby it runs only if a certain person created the item.

Could someone points to me an expression which would work?

This could work. But if I apply this to about 50 different users, I think all 50 flows will run and check the actual user who created the item.

If the Trigger Conditions could work, it triggers only the flow for that particular user who created the item.

Hi. Just wandering wouldn't it be better to use the "Condition" action instead of inserting the expression ? example below.
P.s. : my first post in this forum and keen on learning more on power automate 😇

Hi @force_field ,

Expression should as below:

@equals(triggerBody()?['Author']?['Email'],'Test@xxxxxx.com')

Best Regards,
