📄 Flow Scenario:
- We'll create a flow:
- Triggers when a new item is added to a SharePoint list.
- Sends an email notification about the new item.
🪜 Flow Steps:
- 🔔 Trigger: "When an item is created" (SharePoint)
- This starts the flow when a new item is added to a SharePoint list.
- 📧 Action: "Send an email (V2)" (Outlook 365)
- This action sends an email message.
📦 Dynamic Content in Action:
- The "Send an email (V2)" action uses Dynamic Content.
📤 Trigger Output (Dynamic Content):
- The "When an item is created" trigger provides SharePoint item info as Dynamic Content:
- 🏷️ Title (of the item)
- 📧 Created By Email
- 📅 Modified Date
- 🔗 Link to item
📧 Using Dynamic Content in the Email Action:
- In "Send an email (V2)":
-
To: Fixed email, or Dynamic Content from a "Assigned To" field (if available).
-
Subject: "New item created: [Title]" ([Title] is Dynamic Content)
-
Body:
A new item has been created in the SharePoint list. Title: \[Title] Created by: \[Created By Email] Modified Date: \[Modified Date] You can view the item here: \[Link to item]
- (Again, [Title], [Created By Email], [Modified Date], [Link to item] are from Dynamic Content)
-
💡 Explanation:
- Power Automate knows the "When an item is created" trigger provides data.
- It offers this data as Dynamic Content.
- You choose which Dynamic Content to use in actions.
✨ Benefits:
- ⏱️ Automation: Emails send automatically.
- 🧑 Personalization: Emails include item-specific info.
- 📈 Efficiency: No manual copying/pasting.
