Hi, I'm trying to build a flow that will check when a new user is added or removed to a specific Team and then update a list in SharePoint with this information. I was able to create the flow as illustrated below, however when there's any changes it brings in all the users of the Team again (minus the users who were removed), creating duplicates. If possible I would like it to only add/remove users who are no longer in the Team, or newly added in that list. Maybe an excel file would be better, but I'm not sure how to create that either.
@MikeNJ00 You will need to add a Get Items action to your flow and use a Filter Array action to cross reference the Group Members agains those returned from the Get Items action. Ensure your Get Items action is OUTSIDE of your Apply to Each action.
To learn more about how to use the Filter Array action, please refer to this YT Tutorial: Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Array Action wrong?
Although I cover how to cross-reference an Excel Table against a SharePoint list in the first section of this tutorial, you can apply the same logic to cross-reference the List of Members returned against the Members returned from the Get Items action.
In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.
1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data
2️⃣ Filtering by Key
3️⃣ Substring Matching
Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
