Get the ID value from a lookup field and use it in my Flow

Posted on by JoeBloggs 13

Hi All,

 

Newbie question sorry, so please be gentle.

 

I've got two lists and I think I'm trying to "set" a variable instead of hard coding the ID.

 

1. Sites list - fields = ID, Title, Code
2. Main list - fields = ID, Title, Sites (lookup)

 

Main list has a lookup field using the data from Sites list. I want to use the Sites list ID from the lookup field selected in the Main list. I've circled the ID field currently hard coded but need the ID value from whichever Site I select.

Thank you in advance

    On the Get Id Information block, click on ID, then from the Dynamic Content on right side, look for ID under the header of the block you want, e.g. "Sites List"  and click it.

    The block should now look like this:
