Trigger Condition Error with Times

[Blurryface]

I have a trigger condition as per below:

@not(LessOrEquals(triggerBody()?['Modified'],addMinutes(triggerBody()?['Flow Run'],2)))

It is supposed to prevent an infinite loop occurring, if date modified (+ 2 minutes) is not less than or equal to the flow run time then don't trigger however I am receiving this error when I run a test:

Thanks - any help is greatly appreciated!

Can you remove @ before not? I tried following expression and it works fine...

not(lessOrEquals(utcNow(), addMinutes(utcNow(),2)))

Please mark this as an answer if it resolves your issue.

Hi Prasad,

Thanks for your comment this is specifically for Trigger Conditions which require the "@":

I am also using two date fields "Modified" (the systems field) and "Flow Run" a date field created in the list.

@Blurryface Yeah for using Trigger condition you need "@" .

The error tells me, "Paramater to be string that contains time".

Can you create a new  two action Power Automate(I do not want to start an Infinite Loop)

• Same Trigger(on same library) but with no Trigger condition.
• Add a compose action paste the same Formula and let me know if it completes.

It should help you debug the problem.

I done that and found that my field was incorrectly named:

@not(LessOrEquals(triggerBody()?['Modified'],addMinutes(triggerBody()?['FlowRun'],2)))

I had put a space in it - thanks for tips on how to troubleshoot!

Hello Team,

It seems from the error that the expression is expecting a string but getting a value that is of type Date/Time, so you might need to modify your expression a bit to first format the existing Date/Time value to a string and then Add the +2 Minutes logic.

Here is an example reference that might help you in this-
