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.
