Button Flow to send text via Twilio - Help

Posted on 5 May 2022 20:32:04 by 22

I am working on a flow to send a text message via Twilio.  I have the basic message working, but I would like to make the message a bit more dynamic and I'm struggling.  Details below:

 

The Flow is referencing a SharePoint List that has three columns: 

Team_Member --- ContactNo --- Backup

 

I enter a person, a phone number, another person

 

I test the flow and it works.  But what I'd like to do is have the message dynamically display who the submitter's backup is.  So, I make that adjustment and pull in 'Backup Display Name'  and that will send a message... However, what I notice is, it's not pulling the submitters backup, it's pulling the 'Team_Member' backup.. and the 'Backup Display Name' is different for everyone who receives the text.  I would like it to be the submitter's backup, always.

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.  thank you

    Hi Mira,

     

    Thanks for responding.  Please see images.  Also, I do have it pulling dynamic data, but not exactly the data I want.  I want it to pull the name in the 'Backup' column in SP list, for the person who sent activated the flow.  It is pulling the 'Backup' column for each person the text goes to.

    @TroyWilliams 

    Can you share screenshot of your flow?

    You can always pull dynamic values from your trigger or get item in SharePoint.
