Use a condition to specify that a cloud flow performs one or more tasks only if a condition is true or false. For example, you can use a condition that indicates that you'll get an email only if a tweet that contains a keyword is retweeted at least 10 times.
Here's a video tutorial about conditions.
Create a cloud flow from a template. This tutorial uses this template as the example.
This tutorial uses an example with a Twitter trigger and a SharePoint action.

Enter Send an email into the search box, and then select Send an email (V2).
