If Condition Power automate- Send email + update excel

Hello, 

I am looking to build Flow, where forms are created and all depending on choice question in form I would like email to be sent to particular person. 
See Example Below:
Forms have 3 questions 1. Name 2. Your Fav Cartoon  [Choice Question-options are Spiderman, Batman, & Ben10] & 3. Employee Comments

I would like to create Flow if in 2nd question someone Selects Batman, email should go to Batman, If someone selects Spiderman, email should go to Spider man
+
We have 3 excel file created File names are same as options, so respective responses should auto save into that excel as well.
So I need to create flow where it should Autosave in each Excel file + send email as well

Let me know if more details are required, I will create example and attach the file.

Can you show the actions that are inside the switch?  The error is suggesting that somewhere, probably inside the switch cases, you are using an Excel Online connection and it can't find the file you have it configured for.

  1. Use the When a form is submitted trigger. 
  2. Then get response details.
  3. Use answer to question 2 in a switch to take one of three branches.
  4. Add the actions to send the email and save to the excel file to each branch.

@Nived_Nambiar  I don't know why but I am getting below error while saving the flow. It's working fine but I want to add more conditions to it but I am not able to save the flow.

Flow save failed with code 'DynamicOperationRequestClientFailure' and message 'The dynamic operation request to API 'excelonlinebusiness' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'NotFound'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 404, "message": "The resource could not be found.\r\nclientRequestId: 957bba84-8fd6-4df0-b845-4bd36c5ce35b\r\nserviceRequestId: 1a47b218-c8cb-4695-98ca-6c561a13bb40", "error": { "message": "The resource could not be found." }, "source": "excelonline-we.azconn-we-003.p.azurewebsites.net" }'.

Hi @Nived_Nambiar 
please see below, I am getting error when I open Flow and try to save it. 

Aakash_Majethia_0-1685689519786.png 
There is no Error in Flow Checker as well

Aakash_Majethia_1-1685689542745.png

 

 

Hi @Aakash_Majethia 

 

seems strange, could you please close and open and run the flow ?

@Nived_Nambiar  I tried that flow is running fine. However, if I want to make any changes in flow now it's now allowing to save. There is no error or anything on Flow checker. I believe I need to re-create & run the flow. Thank you Nived for the help, much appreciated

@Pstork1  Thank you! I did manage to check if anything was deleted and there was one option was deleted, hence Excel online wasn't able to get the required information.
Thanks for the help @Pstork1  & @Nived_Nambiar

The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.)   Subscribing to a Category  When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe.     You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save.     Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively.     Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe.     Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board.   Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area.   Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu.     From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format.     You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes.     A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
