Simple Database/Table

Posted on by MM-09122038-0

Good afternoon,

I'm encountering a mental block that I believe should be simple. I need to create a basic database (perhaps an Excel table?) that lists managers and their locations, as defined in the "Department" attribute. Essentially, when running a flow, I need to match the department of the manager in the database with the user running the flow. Based on that match, I may need to automatically fill in the manager's email for an Outlook action to send an email. Most of these managers are not direct reports, so the "Manager" attribute won't work for this purpose.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Sure, you can do this very easily and start with Excel as an easy option since you mentioned it. Essentially, your excel workbook will contain the columns you described, just make sure your data is in a table so you can refer to the values (and search for your manager) in the action List rows present in a table.
