Hello all,
Could you do me a favor? I'm wondering if I can use 'when the item is created' and 'get item' together. The outcome seems to be the same as when I use 'when the item is created' alone. However, it's easier to view the workflow's item details after running the flow. I'm curious if using both causes any errors.
You can, but it depends on how you are using it. If the Get item action is connected to the same list as the trigger when an item is created, and you are using the ID from the trigger as the ID of the item to get, then the data returned will be no different unless in the short time between when the item is created and the get item action runs something has changed.
However, one way to use the two would be if you had a lookup column to another list in the original item. Then you could use the Get item action to get the full details of the item in the lookup.
