I have found the template to send an email when a SharePoint list is modified, but I was hoping to include in the email a summary of what was modified (similar to how a basic SharePoint list alert works). Is that possible using Power Automate?
Hi @rmurphyMLHC ,
In fact, I think the SharePoint List alert can already fulfill your needs.😁
On the contrary, the existing functions in Power Automate have certain limitations and cannot fully meet your needs.
As suggested above, you could consider using the Rest API to get the item versions, and use an HTML table to compare whether several key fields have changed.

I hope it helps.
Best Regards,
Thank you. I will look at this as well.
Hi @rmurphyMLHC
You need to make SharePoint API call to retrieve version history.
Have a look at the below links.
Thanks for the tip. I will try this!
The only way you can do this is to:
1) for each column create another column i.e. OldValueZipCode for each column you want to monitor
2) when created populate OldValue with the values that were entered in a flow
3) when modified flow (the one your talking about) use a combination of OldValue and then actual Value to display the email in the format you need
4) update OldValue with Current Value.
Not ideal but will achieve what you need. In other words no where is it recorded - the only other way may be to retrieve a older version from rest api and process that, but the approach above is probally simpler.
