Assigned To Email

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 18

Hello!

I've created a flow that is 'almost' working as needed.  I need this flow to send out an email to the individual(s) selected in the 'Assigned To' column, but currently it will only send out the email if the user creates a New Item and then after it is made assigns it to a user.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I've been beating my head against the wall with this for a while as I am very new to Power Automate.

    @TPS-Admin The issue with your flow is the Apply to Each actions in your flow.

    You need to use a Select action to get the email addresses from the Assigned To column in your SharePoint list. I cover how to do that in this YT Tutorial: How to Handle Multi-Person SharePoint Item Notifications in Outlook and MS Teams with Power Automate

     

    Do you want to know how to send an email to all users assigned to a SharePoint item? If so—this Power Automate tutorial is for YOU 🫵.

     

    In this Microsoft Power Automate tutorial I’ll cover how to create a flow that is triggered by selecting an item. This automation will send an email to all assigned users for the selected task. I’ll also show you how to adjust your flow so that you can send a message in Teams. Then I’ll show you how to collect a list of unique users that have been assigned to multi-person tasks. Using this concept, we’ll edit the flow from the previous tutorial so that it works with a multi-person column.
