Hi @MoEdu 

 

Thanks for the discussion. 

 

Get Items list should be the same as the Update List item. So from the Get Items you can get the Id and pass the Id to update list item. Hope it make sense.

 

Thanks

HI @MoEdu 

 

Let me check if this is what you're doing.

 

When you save to SP B, do you store the ID from SP A? The IDs created are different, so you should save it so that you can perform an "Update Item" with the ID from SP A.

If you do a "Get Item" and provide an ID that doesn't exist you get an error message similar to that. 

 

Does it make sense?

 

Please let me know how this works out for you so that I can try to help you further.

Hi @manuelstgomes 

 

So when item is created in SP list A it is also then created in SP list B - this works fine with no issue

 

my second step I want is if item B is updated by the user I want item A to also be updated

 

so my second flow is as follows

 

first step is when an existing item is modified

second step is update item

 

It appears to be failing on the second step 😞

Can anyone please help me on this flow, I am in urgent need to get this fixed

 

If someone could provide an example that will be really useful 

HI @MoEdu 

 

Can you show me how you're doing the update? 

 

I can understand your issue, but I need to see what you're doing to be able to help you further.

Hi @manuelstgomes 

 

Thank you, I am new to all this so your help and guidance is appreciated! 🙂

 

How can I upload screenshots?

 

So the full requirement of what I need is as follows:

 

When an item is created or modified in SharePoint list A, B, C, D


- Create item the above items in list E


- Send an email to the person who created the item in list A, B, C, D to the person who is in list E

 

Second part of the requirement is..


When an item is modified in list E

 

Update list A, B, C, D

 

And send an email to the person who created the item

 

 

So to summarise, I have 4 lists each time something is created in these 4 lists, these should be appear in another new list. Each time there is a change/update to the new list these should then be updated in the 4 lists.

 

I hope this makes sense, look forward to hearing from you

HI @MoEdu 

 

No worries, happy to help.

 

I think a screenshot would be helpful. Just login and tap in the camera button:

Then you'll be able to upload an image.

Hey @manuelstgomes 

 

Did you manage to find a solution?

 

look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi @MoEdu 

 

In the last screenshot, you're using the ID to update the lved002 but this ID is probably coming from lved000 correct?

 

I think this is your issue. The IDs in both SP are not the same, so you're probably updating another value instead of the real one. You should keep the lved002 ID stored somewhere in lved000 so that you can map correctly the items from one list to another.

 

Does this make sense?

Hi @manuelstgomes 

 

The id field the only option in dynamic content is ID

 

I have no other option to select anything else, do I need to add in another step or something?

 

Could you map out the flow for me so i can better understand?

 

Thanks

Hi @MoEdu & @manuelstgomes 

 

The issue here is you are trying to update 0002xxx list with the wrong identifier (ID). Retrieve the list id before the update. Map that id and keep the rest of the mapping in your update. Then you should be able to update.

 

Thanks

HI @MoEdu 

 

Just let me try to understand. Do both lists always have the same values? What you're trying to do is keep list 2 updated when list 0 has some changes correct?

hi @manuelstgomes  yep that is correct

 

 

HI @abm

 

Exactly! That's what I tried to convey in my last message, but you explained it better.

 

@MoEdu does this make sense for you?

hi @abm 

 

so do I need to add in another step in between? what would be the name of the step? sorry I am new to all this and still learning!

Hi @MoEdu 

 

Try to follow @abm suggestion.

 

It's just a question of fetching the list 002 and use that ID in the update. All the other values can come from list 00 so that you're sure you're updating all the information.

 

This can be tricky when selecting the stuff from the list, so I recommend naming the actions something like "Fetch items from list A", "Fetching items from list B" so that, in the list, you can see what ID are you fetching.

@manuelstgomes @abm 

 

Can someone please provide me a real life example?

 

I have added in get items in between, but it is still failing 😞

 

Also to add, the 2 screenshots I provided are two separate flows they are not combined all in one, not sure if that makes a difference?

 

When I test run the flow it is failing at the last step update item

 

 

Hey @MoEdu 

 

We're almost there, don't worry.

 

Here's an example..
