Triggers condition - depending on value in a related entity

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

Hi folks,

 

I am trying to create trigger conditions which fire when a related Campaign on a related entity meets criteria.  I have tried putting the odata query into the "filter rows" but can't get it to work, so wondered if I can put this in the Trigger Conditions (under Settings) for the trigger?

 

Basically, on creation of a new Income Line, I only want it to trigger when the related Income record has a certain related Campaign.  Is this even possible?

 

Here's the odata filter query I attempted to use in the filter rows query:-

 

(nfp_incomeid/_nfp_campaignid_value eq 1c1d0ad7-48a0-4b17-a548-5e764ec3be00)

 

The nfp_incomeid is the related income record attached to the Income Line.

 

Hope this makes sense!

 

Thanks in advance.

    @OliverR-82 @simonsnell @slemale - Just checking in, since it's been a couple years, if there's a possible solution to this. I am running into the same issue where I need to check a related entity as part of the trigger. This would reduce my run rate by roughly 99%.

    Thanks OliverR-82.

    I was not able to find this clear information. Too bad... 90% of my triggered flows will end without doing anything. It would have been great to have this possibility to reduce number of triggered flows.

    Trigger conditions can only reference fields that are part of the trigger body. If the field that defines whether or not a flow should run is not part of the trigger body, then it's not possible to use it to configure a trigger condition. So, in short: no, what OP wants to accomplish is not possible. You would need to build the logic that checks for the condition into your flow.

    Hi simonsnell,

     

    Did you find a solution to this problem ?

    I am also interested to know how to do that.

    Thanks.
