Send email when an item is modified or created -> assigned to email = value of a column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a list that is updated from excel vba and it sends an email address to a column (solicitantevba) and other values to other columns.

I need to send an email to this address every time that an item is modified or created.

The problem is that I coudn't make an expression that works (it should get the email from solicitantevba) in the assigned to field.

 

I tried: 

triggerBody()?['Solicitantevba']?['Value']
triggerBody()?['Solicitantevba']
triggerBody()['Solicitantevba']

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    What is the type of the solicitantevba column?

    As @Brad_Groux  asked, please share a screenshot of the flow so we could better understand your issue and provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Actually "triggerBody()?['Solicitantevba']" , just took several minutes to receive the email.

    Thanks!
