    Thanks man!!! I been on this for over 8 hours now battling with the date conversion from excel to SharePoint and Power Automate but that little trick of yours(converting to int) saved me the frustration.

    Could you show how to do this if you have a Microsoft List with 100 employees each of which has a unique Birthday Card Image? I can set up an email that is triggered when it’s an employees birthday, but the Microsoft List Image column containing all the employee birthday jpg files can’t be directly added from what I can tell to the body of the email. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi! I will try this tutorial soon, I was wondering…for example one of my client’s bday is April 21. Does this mean (of course if I put in all the info and follow the tutorial) that my client will automatically get a birthday email (without me even opening my computer that day)???

    Hello I have been following your videos and it has really helped me. I have been trying to create a flow that gets new items from SharePoint list and send email with the last item. however I can't get my flow to do what I want it to do any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong?

    • @TheOyinbooke
      @TheOyinbooke  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi FK. Thanks for finding the resources here valuable.
      Your issue is quite unclear. There is a SharePoint trigger for when item is created/modified.
      If you are able to use this, you can then add another action to get items details using the ID from the dynamic content.
      These details can be included in your email or anywhere you want to use them.
      Please do try this or explain better where the issue is

      Thank you Yogesh.
      Glad it worked.
      If I get you right, you want to CC some particular email right? The question is
      1. Do you want the CC to be dynamic? i.e. changing for different emails or just static email addresses.
      If dynamic, then you should add a column to the excel for CC.
      If Static, you should just hardcode it in the email action card body.
      Do let me know if this was helpful

When I tested the process it did not show any errors or warnings. When I hit the "Run Flow" button everything looked ok. But when I check the run history I see that it failed.
