How to Retrieve Lookup Value ID from SharePoint List to Use in Another List in Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi Everyone,

I have a flow that gets triggered when a new item is submitted in MS Forms.

In this flow, I am creating a record in my SharePoint list called Database 1. In Database 1, I have a column called "Risk Name" which is a single line of text column.

The second action in my flow is to create an item in Database 2. In Database 2, I have a column called "Risk Name" which is a lookup column from Database 1.

While creating a new record in Database 2, the "Risk Name" column needs the lookup ID, as lookup column values can only be stored as IDs.

How can I get the lookup value ID of the "Risk Name" created in Database 1 and use it for creating a new record in Database 2?

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio 

     

    The action 'Create Item in Database 1' will generate a output when the item is created. 

    Then you can select the ID property yo fill in there in Database 2.
