This post is on how to add a trigger condition and how are the expression used as TriggerBody()

We will divide the example into below points, As by name itself it states Flow will only run when the trigger condition is matched
EXAMPLE: We want the flow to trigger only when case status = 2 where our flow trigger is “When a record is created”

Trigger flow on condition of OptionSet Value, option Label or Boolean field
Trigger flow on condition of Lookup name, GUID, Type or Customer Type
Trigger flow on the condition to check contains the operation
Trigger flow on condition to check GreaterOrEqual, LessOrEqual
Trigger condition “OR” “AND” Logical Operators example
Troubleshot: check TriggerBody() Body with fields and Values

Check1: Trigger flow on condition of OptionSet Value , option Label or Boolean field

If we check triggerbody()
Optionset will have two variables in the body , we can use either of them to set a trigger condition
example :
“statecode” : 1
“_statecode_label” : “Resolved”

@equals(triggerBody()?[‘statecode’],1)
@equals(triggerBody()?[‘_statecode_label’],’Resolved’)

For Boolean field its will be field schema name = true / false
example :
“new_iscontact” : true

@equals(triggerBody()?[‘new_iscontact’],true)

Check2: : Trigger flow on condition of Lookup name, GUID , Type or Customer Type

If we check triggerbody()
The lookup will have two variables in the body , we can use either of them to set a trigger condition
example :
“_new_lookup_value” :
“_new_lookup_type” : i.e contacts , accounts , businessunites

@equals(triggerBody()?[‘_new_lookup_value’], ‘3184b10e-eaa8-ea11-a812-000d3a5a77a3’)
@equals(triggerBody()?[‘_new_lookup_type’],’contacts’)

Same goes for Customer field, Owner field
example :
“_ownerid_type”: systemusers

@equals(triggerBody()?[‘_ownerid_type’],’systemusers’)
@equals(triggerBody()?[‘ _customerid_type’],’accounts’)

Check3: Trigger flow on the condition to check contains operation

Trigger condition just need TRUE or FALSE value to trigger the flow and we may also need our power automate flow to run when Title contain Refund it should create priority 1 case.if title contains refund as text, if it contains refund in title output will be TRUE otherwise False

@contains(triggerBody()?[‘title’],’refund’)

Check4: Trigger flow on condition to check GreaterOrEqual, LessOrEqual

Trigger condition just need TRUE or FALSE value to trigger the flow and we may also need our power automate flow to run when NPS Score is GreaterOrEqual to 9 or LessOrEqual5

@greaterOrEquals(triggerBody()?[‘msfp_npsscore’],9)
@lessOrEquals(triggerBody()?[‘msfp_npsscore’],5)

Check5: Trigger condition "OR" "AND" Logical Operators example

Condition like if Title contains Refund OR/AND Credit

@or(contains(triggerBody()?[‘title’],’Refund’),contains(triggerBody()?[‘title’],’Credit’))
@and(contains(triggerBody()?[‘title’],’Refund’),contains(triggerBody()?[‘title’],’Credit’))

Troubleshot: check TriggerBody() Body with fields and Values

There were chances with OOB entities like Ai builder or Forms pro which have some background workflow on create or update and we might be putting a condition where value might not be in BODY of triggerbody()
We can check and successful or failed history for body content
