Pulling data from 2nd list to populate fields

Hello,

I'm working on a fairly simple approval workflow that will kick off when an item is created in a SharePoint list.

When the item is created, I'll add a "Send email with options" action, but I need to populate the email body with information from another list. They is a unique ID that is the same in both lists for the item I'm trying to fill in the email body with.

Is there a way to do a lookup in Flow or would I be better off simply writing to the initial list in the workflow all of the data I need to access?

Re: Pulling data from 2nd list to populate fields

Hi @ adaptivecruise,

Do you want to insert the value of an item in another list which have the same ID with the item when the item is created in a list?

You could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

The flow would run successfully to send the value of an item in another list which have the same ID with the item in an email with options when the item is created in a list as below:

Please let me know if your issue could be solved.

Regards,
Alice Zhang
