Triggered email when field changes

[matstein]

I would like to automatically send a email with triggered actions if the "Status" field in my table is changed.     Not sure how I would go about doing that.

The field in my datapage pulls from a status table with the following options...

 

OPEN

IN PROCESS OF CLOSING

CLOSED

RETIRED

 

So if the user changes that field from OPEN to CLOSED or IN PROCESS OF CLOSING I would like a email sent out

 

Thank you!

Hi @matstein,

You can consider automatic emails as well, but this will not indicate what field was changed, and what it was changed to. 

You are correct that this workflow should use a triggered action. I have set up an easy Triggered action on how to achieve this. 

FIRST, the trigger should run on UPDATE.

 

NEXT is to join the INSERTED table with the OWN Table. This way, we can retrieve both updated value and the previous value. 

Here's a screen shot of how the Trigger should be set up. 

(My screen shot looks funny)

I hope this helps. 

 

I also have attached the table, in case you want to test it for yourself

To use SELECT along with the Send Email, just click the Gear button on its right.
