Not working: When Item is deleted create item in another list and update parent list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

I just started using Lists, Power Automate and Power Apps. I really need help as I seem to be really stuck on this.

 

I have one master list where all the vehicles are listed with their parameters and operational status (master list with ID labelled as source ID). I have another list for vehicles that are in repair(called locomotives input with ID labelled as occurrence ID). When a user creates a new item for vehicle in repair, a lookup is used based on its registration and other details are pulled up. I successfully created a flow that when an item is created or modified in the locomotive input list, it creates an item in another list and it updates the master list and marks the vehicle inoperative.

 

When an item is deleted in the input List, I want to save the deleted item in another list called deletion list and then use the source ID to update the parent list and mark it fully operational. I am trying to use get items but it doesn't seem to work out. The flow runs successfully but nothing gets updated on the Deletion list. 

 

Please help me.
