Hello everyone,
 
Im all brand new on Power Automate, but I would like to learn. Hope some one here have time to get me started. Not sure where the best sources are, but I have tried for some time to make my first flow to work.
 
So here is what I would like to do. I have alot of dynamic groups of users for our company, I would like to use power automate to add users directly into other groups is the user is not present in the target group. 
 
Here is an example:

DYNAMIC_GROUP1 - Main group
 
Power automate to check members in this group and compare it to users in:

MANUAL_GROUP1 - Power Automate maintained group.
 
-If user exists in that group, do nothing
- If user is not member add the user
- Any user added in the last run should also be reported to service[at]domain.com via email
 
Thanks in advance for any replies

    I would change your approach and do this:
    1. Create a manually triggered flow to get all of the members of DYNAMIC_GROUP1 and add them to the MANUAL_GROUP1. In other words, get the two groups in sync.
    2. Then create a flow with the trigger, when a group member is added or removed.
    3. When someone is added, the reason value will be null. When someone is removed, the reason will be deleted.
    4. Add a condition to your flow to check if the reason is not equal to deleted.
    5. Then on the yes side of the condition, add
      1. Get user profile based on the User id from the trigger
      2. Add the person to the group.
