Power Automate for a selected item SharePoint trigger

Flow for a selected item in SharePoint - This video is long, but it has EVERYTHING. There are trigger inputs, conditionals, expressions, troubleshooting, html crafting, and even related thumbnails. This is the most complete flow video I have ever done (or at least remember doing 😂)

The first 8 minutes gave me exactly what I needed to start the flow I'd been trying to figure out all morning! (Trigger email report for selected item). Thank you so much!

As Patrick LeBlanc would say, we're not lazy, just efficient! :) Thanks, Shane, for another gem!

Groovy Tan Shane. Thanks as usual for the great stuff and you being you!

Great look at a very practical bit of functionality. One thing I'd add is that 9/10 times, I use a Compose action or string variable to store the contents of emails/messages. This makes it easier if you first build the flow to send an email and later need to change over to posting to Teams (or something else). If an Approval is involved, it can get a little messy (because they use Markdown while everything else - or nearly everything else - uses html), but it's still better to have that content "centrally managed".

Very interesting video Shane, thank you. Just a question about lists and photos: Would you manage your Site photos as a column of your list, or would you store them in a library? What about if you want to manage metadata like "location", "date picture taken", other EXIF metadata? I think this could be an interesting topic for one of your videos. Thank you.

Hey Shane, love your videos, there is always one for the problems I am working through. I have an automation that sends an email from sharepoint using the for selected item trigger. I sometimes need to add an attachment and sometimes I don't. I have made adding one optional in the get selected item portion of the flow, as you describe in this video. When one is attached the flow works as intended. However, when I don't attach one, it fails. Do you need to adjust something in the send email v2 portion or is there another piece that I am missing? Thanks, and keep up the great work, you are an amazing resource.

Thanks alot again Shane for the video, very insightful and informative. I have a question to ask like how do you handle a situation whereby you have two lists - Master list (Form) and Primary list (Gallery ) like this video you did before - "PowerApps Repeating Tables like InfoPath Part 1 - Enter the data "
How then can one showcase on start and wait for an approval email body the list items table for a specific ID from (Primary list) of the person who sent request so that Approvers do not need to go to the Attached link to see the items requested for but just see everything requested for on the approval email body .

Fantastic video! Thank you! I have a question... There is a way to make a power automate flow for more than one item selected in the list?

[moetoledo]

Great video, thank you! Is it possible to trigger this flow from PowerApps for selected item from a gallery?

[epueOne]

Hey Shane, great Video :) Is there a chance you can show how to update an item by email response? For a Ticket system in SharePoint. :)

Hi Shane. I love your videos. Extremely helpful now that i'm trying to transition from SPD workflow and Infopath to the Power Platform. For some reason, I cant' seem to figure out how do one thing in power automate that I could do in spd workflow in five seconds. I can't seem to find the right action that will update an item in a SP list, based off a common field in another list. And the strange thing is, I can't seem to find it anywhere after searching youtube and google. I'm using the Update List items action, but I dont see any way to link the two lists on the column i've created. Any thoughts about this?

Hey Shane, I greatly appreciate your videos about powerapps and recently power automate! I've learned alot over the last 2 years from you!

A quick question, do you have a video which covers the topic on how to delete files from a document library after a certain amount of time, same goes for lists.
I've built some sort of a visitor-form for our company where you have a pen input and we are only allowed to store the data up to 30 days.
After these 30 days, the element in the list needs to be deleted and also the signature which is a jpg file in a document library.

Greetings from Austria!

Hi Shane. Is there a way to do this from a custom list that already has the email contact (using the person or group column type) within the list? So, if I select multiple items (users/ or a single user) in a SharePoint list, can I self trigger an email to that user or users? Or if I filter the list down based on my custom column criteria, can I then email the filtered user list? This would be amazing. Thanks Shane.

Hi Shane, thanks for sharing this video. Can you please help creating a flow (for a selected item in SharePoint) in which an image and data in sharepoint list is populated in a word document using power automate.
Thanks in advance.

[bassplayer]

I love the fact that you make mistakes the same way I do and then show how to fix it. Makes a world of difference. So... what if i want to send multiple items from that SharePoint list? Like, select Adeline AND Clay the Dog and get it to trigger?

Hello Shaun, Great video. At 11:05 you say it shows up in Sharepoint if the flow is in the default environment, but what if I want my flow to run from a non-default environment? Is there a way for it to show in Sharepoint? I mean the default enviroment is meant for personal productivity really, so not great for business flows :)

[carolynncoy]

Thank you this was really helpful. i was all off with Get items and not item. not I am trying to use the drop down options to trigger. still working on that

[svajuneklemkiene]

Hi, Thank you. Your videos are great. But I've faced to a problem with these manual triggered flows: is it true that they work only in default environment?
