Hello,

I cannot find a direct answer on Google. I've used Get Item and Get Items interchangeably in my Flows and they seem to function the same. Simple question: What is the difference between them, if there is a difference?

Re: What is the difference between Get Item and Get Items

Hello,
Can you please tell if the ID field can be non numeric?
I have a list where I have a key value pair and want to get each item based on key value that I want to pass through the ID field and that is not numeric.
So basically the value I want to pass via ID field looks like : ABC-CCG
The list just has 2 columns ID and Name, and I want to read the name for that ID.

Hi @Morghan

Assuming that this is related to the Sharepoint action, Get Items returns a list of items from the list you select (the cap is 100 items by default and can be changed by providing a value on the top count and the list of items can be based on a filter query). Get item, returns just one item based on the ID that you provide.

Hope this helps!
