What is the difference between Get Item and Get Items

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 209

Hello,

 

I cannot find a direct answer on Google. I've used Get Item and Get Items interchangeably in my Flows and they seem to function the same. Simple question: What is the difference between them, if there is a difference?

    Hi @Morghan 

     

    Assuming that this is related to the Sharepoint action, Get Items returns a list of items from the list you select (the cap is 100 items by default and can be changed by providing a value on the top count and the list of items can be based on a filter query). Get item, returns just one item based on the ID that you provide. 

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hello,

    Can you please tell if the ID field can be non numeric?

    I have a list where I have a key value pair and want to get each item based on key value that I want to pass through the ID field and that is not numeric.

    So basically the value I want to pass via ID field looks like : ABC-CCG

    The list just has 2 columns ID and Name, and I want to read the name for that ID.
