I have created a SharePoint intake list for my internal departments to submit tasks for other departments. I would like an automatic email to be sent notifying the requested department of a new task. Can someone help me?
Assuming you mean Power Automate, there's a template called something like "Send an email when a new item is created in a SharePoint list" - that should get the job done almost entirely out-of-the-box.Probably want to ask the Power Automate community: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/bd-p/MPAForum Also see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/business-apps/power-automate/get-started/create-your-first-flow
I will check in with that community. I agree that is the template I need, but I can not figure out how to create the correct condition so the computer knows if accounting gets a new job request, the manager gets an email. Thanks for helping.
Your trigger will be
"When item is create or modified in sharepoint list"
next step: Multiple Condition blocks in parallel
DepartmentFieldFromSPList = HardCoded Department Name
if department is account condition is true. Set the Send email there. same for all departments
They specifically said when an item is created, not also modified, though. Using that trigger will send the email any time something gets saved, as well.
Then use 'When item is Created' simple
