Flow for Notification Containing SharePoint List Changes

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi all,

 

I've been asked to build a flow via Power Automate for a SharePoint list whereby the person responsible for the item (captured in one of the list columns) receives a notification via Teams when changes are made by others. While I was able to successfully create a flow for the notification, it doesn't contain any information regarding what was changed. Any assistance you can provided would be greatly appreciated, because I have scoured the internet without luck 🙂

 

Many thanks,

 

Lynne

    Hi @kellbell ,

     

    If I understood correctly, you want to capture the columns that were changed in the record owner notification. 

     

    You can find the changes from previous item versions by using the Get changes for an item or file action, which expects the item version number and will return an object with a boolean value for each of the List columns (true if the column changed, false if it didn't):

    As the item version number will be frequently changing, you will need an expression to get it dynamically:

    This is the expression that I used: concat(string(sub(int(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/{VersionNumber}'], '.')[0]), 1)), '.0'). I believe that the same expression must work for you.

     

    The bad news is that there is no easy way to access the column names that have a result equals to true. You will need to use a xpath and xml expressions for that (check this thread), but if you are working with a small quantity of columns, you can alternatively include something like this in your message template, and leverage from Get changes for an item or file action dynamic contents:

    After running the flow, this is the output on Teams:

    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

    Hi @rzaneti, thank you so much for your expeditious and thorough response! I opted for the option with the Get changes for an item or file and it worked like a charm 🙂

    Hi everyone!
     
    I have a question regarding the below flow. I received an automatic email from Microsoft indicating a couple of failure counts. When I researched them, the error message was always the same:
     
    {
      "status"400,
      "message""Specified Version Label does not correspond to any actual version\r\nclientRequestId: 4d42f0b1-c176-4c59-9fbb-d83bca1efd4b\r\nserviceRequestId: 98fd40a1-6003-9000-88a2-ead2734d46f8"
    }
     
    Do you happen to know what would cause these instances to fail? Could it be that these were regarding new items and not modifications to existing ones?
     
     
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!
