Trigger when comment is added to lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RoberInforapps 4

I'm trying to trigger when user add a comment to microsoft lists item.

I'm trying using SharePoint triggers "When a item is modified" or "When item is added or modified".

But it never fired when a user post a comment on list item.

How I can achieve this?

    Hi @RoberInforapps,

     

    Adding a comment doesn't modify the list item. If you look closely at the Modified field value of one of your test items you will see it doesn't update the Modified value after you add a comment. That's why your flow will not trigger.

     

    As far as I am aware currently there is no trigger for comments. So your options would be to either create a scheduled flow instead by using the send http request to sharepoint action and REST API or add an idea to the Power Automate UserVoice, https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas

     

    Hope this helps a bit?
