SharePoint List PowerAutomate Flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by WJ-10021550-0 7
I have a document update request list in SharePoint. This list has the following columns: description, status, document number, and created by. The 'document number' column is a lookup column where the user selects an item from another SharePoint list when creating the item. When a user creates an item in this first list through a SharePoint flow, approvals are sent to the document owner so they can accept the request, and if accepted, the status automatically changes to "in update" through this PowerAutomate flow. I need the status to also update in that other list, where the user selects through the lookup column. Could someone help me with how to run this flow?

    This would require an additional flow that has a trigger for "when an item in SharePoint is modified/updated". You'd need to adjust the "trigger conditions" of this trigger to only occur when an item in your master list is set to "in update". An example would look as follows:
     
    equals(triggerBody()?['in update'],true)
     
    If the "in update" status is an option from a list vs a string value, the above would need to be adjusted a little.
