Hi,

I am working on building a flow and would like to add action that will send me an email or notification when an excel column has been updated.

I have created table in excel (example below) and I would like to receive an email every time someone in the "sign-off" column adds their initials. Is there a way to do this? If so, what does the build/actions look like?

Name	Sign-Off	Email
Joe D		joe.doe@company.com
Jane S		jane.smith@company.com
Tim L		tim.lane@company.com

Hi @GBLM2020,

Unfortunately, Power Automate does not support similar triggers to monitor whether Excel tables(cell) have changed.

As a workaround, change your data source to a SharePoint list, or use some other ways like, based on a forms response so when a new response is submitted it can check a table in excel based upon an ID entered into the form.
