Power Automate condition if blank

Here we will check the Power Automate condition if blank using Power Automate or Microsoft Flow.

Assume that, we have a SharePoint Online list called TaskList, which consists of different columns as highlighted below:

Power Automate condition if blank
Power Automate condition if blank

Here, we will check if the number of days to complete the column which is of integer data type is blank or not. And the flow will trigger when a new item is created or the existing item is modified on the SharePoint list.

To achieve this follow the below steps:

  • On Power Automate, create an automated flow by selecting +New flow. In the Automated flow popup window, enter the flow name.
  • Choose the trigger when an item is created or modified and click on the create option as highlighted below:

  • Now, Once the Trigger is ready we will implement the action flow logic by selecting plus sign (+New Step)-> Add an action as below:

From the list of actions, Now we will check if the field is blank or not using condition action. So click on the Next step and select condition control action.

Let us see how we can check the Power Automate condition if not blank using Power Automate or Microsoft Flow.

We will use the same SharePoint Task list to check the if not blank value in Power Automate.

To achieve this follow the below steps:

  • On Power Automate, create an automated flow by selecting +New flow. In the Automated flow popup window, enter the flow name.
  • Enter two required fields called Site Address and List Name to configure the trigger and here I have selected my SharePoint site and the SharePoint list Name (TaskList).
