Send email only to new person when a new person is added to column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Problem: Trying to create a power automate flow that sends an email to the person that gets added to the "People" column in a SharePoint List. Right now, if I try this it will continuously send to each person in the persons column every time a new person is added.

 

Ideally, I would only want to send the email to the new person that is added to the persons column in SharePoint Online and not the other existing people in that same column in the SharePoint list. Is there a way to get this accomplished with Power Automate? If so, how?

 

Currently I'm already using a trigger if the list is modified. I don't understand how to only send the email to the person that is getting added to the persons column (which is a multi-person column)

 

I have set up create or modify trigger, then het changes to column since previous version, then emails to people in that column.  I need the email to only go to newly added users to the column?

    I would look at this post as it will show you how to get the prior version of the item, which will be needed to do what you want: Power Automate - How to get previous value of updated SharePoint List Item - DEV Community
     
    If you make it that far, you can then refer to this blog post to get the e-mail addresses that have been added: Efficient Union, Except And Intersect – Great Method - DamoBird365
