ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied
Hi,
I'm trying to setup power automate flow to send an email, based on a input data within a list.
Example someone add a user to the column "Assign to" automaticallyI want an email to be triggered to the requestor. So once "Assign to" column changes to sendthe email to Assign to user .
I've configured the flow (screenshot below), but I get the following error: ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied. The execution of template action 'Send_an_email_(V2)' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied. Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong?
If you don't need customized email body, you can also use the Rules feature in SharePoint lists: Rules in SharePoint Online/Microsoft Lists.
Or in Power automate, you can check condition like:
Expression used:
empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/AssignedTo/DisplayName'])Where AssignedTo is an internal name of your Assigned to column in SharePoint list. You can get the internal name of your SharePoint list columns by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
Note: Right hand side false is also an expression and not a text/string. You have to add it using expression option as well.

- This one also worked,Thanks
Mihiranp your condition looks to be wrong as you've set it as Assignto is equal to nothing. If it is then the flow goes down the green if yes channel. But with your condition it doesn't know who to send the email to so the branching didn't work properly which is why you get that message.

i'm planning to send an email to Assign to user,- But you've got nothing on the right hand side of your condition! Instead of "contains" it should be "is not equal to "
