Only send an email when a specific column in a list changes

[u156531]

I'm using the below. I'm want to send an email when there is a change in a specific column in the list.

I don't want other columns to act as a trigger. Can someone tell me how to limit the trigger to one column?

Hi @u156531,

yes, you can narrow down the trigger conditions in Power Automate to respond only to changes in specific columns. Here are the steps you can use:

1. Begin by opening Power Automate and selecting "Create Flows" followed by "Automated from Blank." Choose the trigger "When an item is created" and proceed to create the flow.

2. In the trigger action, click on the three ellipses to open a side pane, then select "Settings."

3. Scroll down to find the "Trigger Condition" option.

4. In the trigger condition, define the condition for checking the information in a particular column using the following syntax: @equals(triggerBody()?['Column name'],'Value'). Replace 'Column name' and 'Value' with the actual column name and the value you want to check.

5. Once you've specified the condition, click on "Done."

By following these steps, the flow will only be triggered when the specified column is modified. Ensure you change the status at the beginning of the flow to prevent potential loops.

If you need the column name, you can find it in the site settings by clicking on the column name.
