I'd like to trigger an action based on adding certain tags to an ADO item.

Is that possible with Power Automate?

Thanks

Hi @rogemer,

That would be possible by adding a trigger condition expression to your trigger action. In that expression you could use an equals function to check the system_tags field value.

Below is an example of that approach.

In my example I am checking if the tag is 'TestTag'.

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/fields']['System_Tags'], 'TestTag')

Hi @rogemer,

This issue could occur when you are testing with a work item without a tag. However, the trigger condition should prevent the flow from even triggering. So, it is odd that you are even getting a flow run, it shouldn't trigger in the first place.

How are you testing? Are you updating a work item in Azure DevOps and looking at the flow history?

Or are you using the Test feature of flow with a previous run and re-running it? With the latter you could run into this issue.
