Hello @vamshi2
Go to Modifications module in left navigation. Create a notification for the table you want to trigger this on.
In the "when to send" tab - select "Auto close" is true, and state is "closed"
Then in the whom to send you choose recipients and in the what it contains you can write the subject line and content.
You should be good with this, no need to modify flow or anything else.
Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.

Hi @Shivalika thanks for response but i tired it is not working as expected as we need to apply filter for other notification as well and the condition is auto close is false but by default it is false and not working as expected

Hello @vamshi2
Then there's other solution which will work. Create another flow designer which triggers on closure of incidents and in the flow write If else block. If auto close box is checked , send one notification else other. This should resolve your issue and in a simple manner.

Hi @vamshi2
using auto close check box to identify --> Do you have this field? bcz OOTB there no such field. If you have this custom field then @Shivalika solution is direct way.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG thanks for response
actually yes we have created custom field auto closed and we are updating it via flow for each req/inc when no comments are added for 7 days need to close inc/req with comment "Auto closed" so i am using two brs for request when it is auto checked and using events triggering notification
below br is not triggering and not working as expected if i remove updated by then it is triggering multiple times even for other case when auto closed is true may be this is due to flow we are updating state to closed complete and comments as auto close and auto close as true then
below br is triggrering and working as expected
