Simple SharePoint Flow to Send Email Issues

Question

I am at a loss of 4+ hours trying to understand why this flow will not work. I have SharePoint Library with a Yes/No choice column for whether a file Needs Updating that I want to trigger an email. Everything I try either results in the condition being false which it shouldn't be or the flow failing. Here is my latest code that fails. Originally I wasn't using the value version of the field and the flow would run but result in a false condition even when the Needs Updating field was set to Yes. I also was using is equal to Yes, but then I read another thread that suggested you should use the expression true. I'm unsure of what to do/try next. This should have been a 10 minute job. It has to be something silly that I am missing.

I am using NeedsUpdating Value as condition field.

Answer 1

The problem is that your condition assumes that theNeesUpdating field is a yes/no field. However, NeesUpdating field is simply a text/choice field. So you can't compare text to the boolean values (true and false).

So, to fix the issue, simply update your Condition to compare with Yes like on the screenshot below:

Remember, you don't need any quotes or formula, you simply need to type Yes in the condition.
