Is it possible to re-read the information from a Sharepoint item list during the flow?

Hi

I have a simple flow that takes a form, sends it to a sharepoint list, then wait and asks for approval. Here I would like to be able to edit the information in the list if something minor is wrong (like an uncorrect formatted email address). Next step is to send the data from the list to an external email, but currently my flow then sends the initial data from the list. So is there a way to re-read or refresh the data in the flow?

    Thanks!

     

    I'm rather new to Power Automate and there are juse so many options that can be hard to find the correct one some times. 

     

    (there are very limited possibilites that I've found to validate input in Microsfoft Forms, but if there exists options, please guide me in the correct direction.)

    Hi @kmlunde ,

     

    As @rsaikrishna  said, you should add a Get item action to get the new data and send the new data from the Get item action in the send email action.

     

    Best regards,

    You use SharePoint action "Get Item" if you know the list item ID. You can use this action any number of time in the flow. Once you create an item, you can place a Delay action for sometime (may be for 5 minutes). You can correct the data in the list within the provided Delay time. Then, call Get Item action and then, you can send email.

     

    Here is the sample flow:

    I advise to handle the validation in the form rather than fixing the data manually.
