you will often need to generate different actions based on various criteria.

00:00:08

Let's focus here on a flow that will automate the acceptance

00:00:11

of a meeting invitation containing a specific keyword from an organizer.

00:00:16

The example used in this flow is simple

00:00:19

but well illustrates the principle of the if condition

00:00:22

which allows testing a set of conditions and chaining actions.

00:00:26

If the condition is met as well as other actions, otherwise

00:00:31

you will create an automated flow which you will name

00:00:35

using the action related to creating an event in outlook

00:00:44

in the properties indicate monitoring your calendar

00:00:47

and set the frequency of checking for new

00:00:49

events to one minute so that the flow

00:00:51

runs almost immediately after receiving the invitation.

00:00:56

Now let's focus on managing your condition.

00:00:59

All conditional actions are grouped under control. The basic condition.

00:01:04

If in this case is labeled condition,

00:01:07

you will discover in other tutorials. Some other types of conditions.

00:01:12

Once the condition is inserted,

00:01:14

you will see two branches allowing you to perform distinct actions according to

00:01:18

the result of the condition that you will parameterize in the property pane.

00:01:23

You will define a double condition.

00:01:25

The first based on a specific organizer.

00:01:28

This dynamic content associated with the previous action

00:01:31

is available by clicking on the see more button.

00:01:40

Enter the email address of the organizer concerned by this flow,

00:01:44

then add a second condition of the and type

00:01:47

indicating that all listed conditions must be met.

00:01:51

This second constraint is based on the

00:01:52

subject which must contain the word training.

00:01:57

Now focus on the actions associated with the results.

00:02:00

Start with the condition met part by

00:02:02

selecting the action to respond to the invitation

00:02:09

in the properties, identify the item via its id

00:02:14

and associate the action of accepting the invitation

00:02:17

while disabling the automatic email sent to the organizer

00:02:23

in the case where the conditions are not met.

00:02:25

Add again the action to respond by defining a tentative acceptance as the response

00:02:30

this time leaving the email sending active

00:02:34

save and test your flow.

00:02:36

Having access to the account associated

00:02:38

with the condition simulate two invitations

00:02:41

in the recipient's account where you created your flow.

00:02:44

The meetings appear well in your calendar with

00:02:46

a pending acceptance status for the first one

00:02:49

and after a few moments,

00:02:50

an acceptance status for the invitation meeting both criteria.

00:02:54

Your flow is functional and correctly handles the configured condition.

00:03:00

The organizer for their part receives an email only for the pending meeting.

00:03:04

That is perfect.
