Searching in sharepoint list with power automate

Posted on by don75

In my power automate flow, I am trying to search for the row using email. My problems is, this always retuns as data not found, even though I do have a row for the entered email.

In the condition, I have the following.
length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])

First, remember that OData filters are case sensitive.

Also, can you tell me if the Email column is a text column or a person or group column (they are handled differently)?

Thanks for the response. I didn't manually type the field names to search in sharepoint. Power automate automatically populated the fields for me to select. And no issues with case sensitivity as all the data is in lower case. I tried to add other fields instead of email, but got the same result.
In sharepoint list, the Email column has been set as "Single line of text"

I think I found the issue. Even though I see the data in sharepoint as they are entered in the bookings app, they got extra information. I created a new flow just to retrieve data from the sharepoint list and email them. What I noticed was that some data has the <div class> before the actual data.
Ex: <div class="ExternalClassA463BD7F04DA413C924005E9BA36B94D">Graham@test.com</div>
Any way that I could remove this from the variable?
