Team Shifts email notification

[burliad]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a flow that will send out an email notification to the team member assigned to the shift when a shift is created, updated, or deleted.  Not sure where to start with this one.  Thank you

Hi @burliad,

I have created a example for you below.

1. Add the When a shift is create, update or deleted trigger action. Select your Shifts Team

2. Add a Get a Shift action, use the Resource Id dynamic value for the Shift ID

3. Add a Get user action, use the Shift Assigned To User ID for the User Id field

4. Add a Send an email (V2) action, use the mail for the To field. You can of course change the subject and body fields of that e-mail action to whatever you want.

The end result should look something like this.

Hope this helps a bit to get you started?

Works perfectly!  Thank you so much!!!  I was on the right track but need some direction.  Thank you again for all your help!

It looks like everything is working but I am also getting emails along with the team member who has the shift

Hi @burliad,

Maybe you can add a condition action to filter out your email address?

Ok I will give it a try thank you.

 ok, I see the real problem.  I checked my sent items in my outlook and the flow is still sending the email to ALL MEMBERS of the team, even people who did not have any changes to their shift.  It also looks like there are 2 emails going out.  There is only one email in the whole bunch that has the dynamic info of the shift listed in it.  I have posed some screen shots.

I can not find that "get user"  action step. Is there something special you looked up?

Hi @rw58265,

Look for Azure AD connector first, select that connector and then look for get user action.

[burliad]

Should I try and use Azure connector as well?  I am still having problem with my flow and I have it turned off right now

thank you!

@burliad, yes it's probably easier to use the Azure AD get user action, since that one supports using the user id field. As far as I am aware with Get User Profile action you have to use the user principal name instead.

Btw, below is an example how you could exclude one email address by using a condition action.
