  13. Reminder Time (UTC): Provide the UTC converted time at which you want to schedule the event reminder text message. Use the time format HH: MM.
  14. Contact: The field gives the list of available Contacts in the Power Textor to select the one you want to update.

  16. Updated Contact Number: The field allows you to give the updated number of the contact selected in the ‘Contacts’ field. Running the flow will update the contact number in the Power Textor.

How do I use a condition to check specific text?

To check for specific text in a condition, you can use the “equals” operator. Here’s an example:

Suppose you have a variable called “myText” that contains some text. To check if it equals “hello”, you can use the following condition:

myText equals “hello”

This will evaluate to true if the variable’s value is “hello”, and false otherwise.

You can also use the “contains” operator to check if a piece of text is contained within another string. For example, to check if the variable “myText” contains the word “world”, you can use the following condition:

myText contains “world”

This will be true if “world” is found within the value of “myText”, and false otherwise.

How to apply the Trigger condition for single-line text?

To apply a trigger condition for a single line of text in Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow), you can use the “equals” operator like in the previous example.

Suppose you have a trigger that fires when a new item is created in a SharePoint list, and you only want it to run if the value of a single line of text column called “Title” equals “Important”. Here’s how you can set up the trigger condition:

  1. In the trigger step, click “Edit in advanced mode” to open the expression editor.
  2. In the expression editor, add the following condition:

@equals(triggerBody()?[‘Title’], ‘Important’)

This uses the “equals” function to compare the value of the “Title” column in the trigger body to the string “Important”. 3. Click “Done” to save the trigger condition.

Now the trigger will only fire when a new item is created in the SharePoint list, and the value of the “Title” column is “Important”.
