Trigger for Sharepoint List Flow Button

[Dan47]

Hi There

I created a flow that sends an email when a Sharepoint list is modified.

So that it doesn't go off unintentionally I created a JSON flow button for the list.

Now I am unsure how to create the trigger because the button doesn't know which list column was changed.

There are 4 different pdfs in the list that are attached to the email when one of the columns is changed.

I filter the title to determine which pdf to attach. 

Also Power Automate is telling me to change the flow because it could loop itself when it changes the list column to sent pdf.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Dan47,

The trigger just uses the For a selected item trigger of SharePoint:

If you not familiar with the format JSON for a button in SharePoint column, you could refer to this blog:

And how to get the changes of SharePoint items, you could refer to this blog:

Check for a Change in a SharePoint List Column Val... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Hi Lin Tu

Thanks for your reply.

I tried the first link previously and sharepoint says there are errors in the json script. Another source worked for me.

Add a button in to a SharePoint List/Library to trigger a Flow (part 01) – Microsoft Cloud Services ...

Regarding the secound link: Somehow I am not getting the trigger check for new item.

I wanted to insert a picture but the blog says I'm post flooding 😞

Edit: I managed to do it with a get items action. So I'm one step further.

But the following filter action is unsatisfied when I run the flow no matter how I flip it.

See the screenshot below.

Thanks for your help.
