Lookup emailadress based on a sharepoint list and use that in create item

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 187

Hi all,

 

I am still somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Power Automate, so do forgive me if I ask weird things 🙂

The scenario is the following.

I receive a csv file which contains amongst others an username (column is called orderbegeleider in Dutch).
With the help of Power Automate, the output of the csv file is submitted to a sharepoint list with the create item function.

That list contains a column Emailadress, which is however blank since I don't receive the emailadress in the CSV.

 

I do however have a 2nd Sharepoint List which contains the user name and emailadress.

 

So e.g.

CSV file contains a record with username Person A

CSV file contains a record with username Person B

CSV file contains a record with username Person C

 

Sharepoint list for the emailadress contains two columns, username and email.

Username: Person A          Email: personA@gmailetc.

Username: Person B          Email: personB@gmailetc.
Username: Person C.         Email: personC@gmailetc .

 

What I would like to achieve is that in my Create Item I can push the result of the lookup from the field emailadress.

So if in the CSV a record contains username PersonA, I fetch the accompanying mailadress from the 2nd sharepoint list which is personA@gmailetc  and use that as input for my create item. See below for screenshot.

Most likely I first need to store the usernames/email via Get Items Sharepoint from the 2nd list so I can later reuse that but I am struggling how to proceed. Hope this makes sense and looking forward to a way to approach this.
