for a selected item (actually a sharepoint list)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 368

I'm trying to create a flow that will send an email to individuals from a sharepoint list only when 'Status' = 'Other'.

I want to manually trigger the flow, I don't want or need it regularly checking the trigger.


I have built the 'body' of the flow, but really can't seem to get the trigger correct.  I know I'm missing something really obvious.

Thanks for any help.

I have the same question (0)

    Do you want to send emails for all the items in the list where Status = Other?  If so then you don't want the for a selected item trigger.  You want the manual flow trigger.

     

    A screenshot of your flow would help figure out what you want to accomplish and help us provide a better answer.

    I just can't seem to figure out what the 'trigger' needs to be.

    I changed the trigger to manually trigger and have half my flow working now

    This is the other half of my flow that is not working properly.
