Start a Flow with Toggle in Power Apps / Patch Toggle Value into Sharepoint List

[bob_taylor_pp]

Hi Community

Is there a way to start a flow via a toogle when the toggle is activated. I haven't really found anything about this here.

If anyone has a good video or example I would be very grateful.

hey @bob_taylor_pp 

do you want to trigger the flow instantly when you switch the toggle or when the item is saved?

Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

Hi, 

Actually, the flow should only be triggered when the item is saved.

It's more about sending another reminder about a contract expiration via Toogle. In other words, to inform an additional group. In this case the department. However, this reminder should be optional. For the current reminder to employees and managers I use a classic recurrence trigger with filter query and expression. It would be good if this could be combined somehow.

hey @bob_taylor_pp 

then its easy. you can use the trigger "when an item is created" in power automate and set the trigger condition of it that it should only trigger when the value is Yes. After that you can update the item and set it to No so that there is no infinity loop.

How do I get the Toogle value from Power Apps into the trigger condition?

[mmbr1606 · Accepted solution]

asuming your toggle has Value Yes and Value no use this:

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/toggleFieldName'], 'Yes')

you would need to rename to your need and exchange toggleFieldName with the columnname of the Toggle

How do i get the Toggle value in the specific item? The Toggle Value and the SubmitForm values should have the  same Item("ID")

Something is also wrong with the syntax in the onSelect property of the toggle.

hey @bob_taylor_pp 

the flow will fire for every created item, so it should be fine.

from what my first look says, you forgot the closing bracket after Demo_Vertragsmanagement.

I don't really understand it. So my Sharepoint Column is called AbteilungReminder (Yes/No Column). How do I patch the value into the column. Which property would be the right one for the toggle? OnSelect?
Every time I have syntax problems. Do you have an example? I have already tried dozens of times.

Solved it my self with a toggle integrated in my Submit Form with value true or false(Yes/No Choice Column) that fire the Flow within a trigger condition.
