Null value errors when trying to use the get changes for an item or file action.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

I'm trying to build what I thought was a simple flow to send an email when an item in a Sharepoint list gets assigned. the trigger is When an item or file is modified. I use the Get Changes for an item or file (properties only) action using Dynamic ID value for Id, and the dynamic Trigger Windows Start Token and End token for Since and Until Parameters. Then I add a condition that sends an email when the Status column changes to Assigned. When I test, it fails at the Get Changes action with an error stating that the ID is null. Trying to figure out what I'm missing.

    Thanks, that did the trick. I was using a forward slash to access the dynamic values. I don't understand why, but doing it your way somehow made a difference. I ended up having to go back and redo all of the dynamic values in the flow like that. Thanks!
