Edits and modifications to Sharepoint list item flow

[MBach20]

Hi

I am trying to create a flow to send an email which shows the changes made to a Sharepoint list item.

Currently, I have a separate flow for that list which sends an email with the item details.

I would like a second flow so that if the item is modified, another email is sent showing what has changed since the previous version (there may be multiple modifications / versions). Versioning has been enabled.

I currently have the following steps:

1. When an item or a file is modified
2. Get changes for an item or file (properties only)
3. Send an HTTP request to SharePoint
4. I guess from there I should be able to “send an email” showing the changes?

However, the flow is failing at Step 3 with a “500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR”. The how to fix is not particularly helpful “You should be able to fix this by verifying your account with . You may need to re-enter your password.”

Any help would be appreciated… Thanks!

Hello @MBach20 ,

for the error, try to check the connection you're using in the HTTP request to SharePoint, maybe it needs update. Or try to create a new one.

On the other side, why don't you use the OOTB SharePoint Alerts that can send you an email with overview of the changes? It'll show also the columns that were not changed, but I think the Power Automate flow will be quite complicated if it should dynamically recognise only the columns that were changed and send them in an email.
