How to conditionally count rows in SQL. If > 0 then continue the flow; else stop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have set up a table in SQL where I store approvals, including a column where I save an approval status (Pending, Approved, Rejected).

 

As part of a reminder process, I would like to send a message out conditioned on there being more than one item Pending in the Approval status column.

 

How do I count the number of rows in the table where Approval Status = Pending and then use the result in a Condition (if > 0 then continue the flow; else stop)?

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    You can use odata filter queries to filter out the records and more details can be found here: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/use-dynamic-odata-filter-values-in-a-microsoft-flow-sharepoint-getitems-action/

     

    Then you can use the length function in flow expression editor to check the length of the list returned from the above action and implement the logic further. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
