Yes, very possible.
- Use the SharePoint 'Item is created or modified' trigger and connect to your list.
- Add a condition that checks to see if the length of the TextField is greater than 0.
- If TextField has a value, send the email to the person (Send an Email V2)
- If not, do nothing.
A couple of notes
- If the item is going to continue to be updated, you will send multiple emails. Add another field (EmailSent: yes/no). Once you send the message, Update SharePoint Item and set EmailSent to Yes. Then you can update the condition to check that the TextField has a value AND that Notification Sent equals no.
- Once you get it running, you might want to look at using a trigger action (right click on the trigger action, and select Settings) so the flow only runs if the text fields is empty and a notification has been sent.
