How to make SharePoint Group from SharePoint list Dynamic from HTTP request to SharePoint

Posted on by JS-17091307-0

Hello! Using SharePoint lists and PowerAutomate, I am setting up a flow that sends an email to a SharePoint group for that particular item of a SharePoint list. Different items in the list use different SharePoint groups as we manage permissions by region.

In the URI of 'HTTP Request to SharePoint' action, I can input a hard coded group name and this flow works perfectly.

_api/web/siteGroups/getByName('Group Name')/users

However, I want the getByName() to be dynamic and change for the different groups of the SP List. Can this be coded into the URI? Pulling the Dynamic Content's Group Name item did not work for me.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @jaykesudana

You have forgotten to wrap the dynamic group name in single quotes. It should be like (single quotes are highlighted in red color):

_api/web/siteGroups/getByName('<<dynamic group name>>')/users

Pls try running the flow after correcting the syntax of the URI end point.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks

Thank you, @ManishSolanki !

This helped, but I also discovered that I should have initialized a variable before the 'Apply to each' action.
Within the 'Apply to each' action, the variable is set to the new array of emails pulled from HTTP request.

Thanks!
