sharepoint trigger 'When an Item is created or modified' does not return ID

[RussellGove]

Hi, I'm trying to use the trigger mentioned in the title. The first thing i want to do is get prior versions of the changed item by making a sharepoiint rest call. But the trigger does not expose the ID of the item that was just modified? How are we supposed to work with it without an Id.

I think ist because the ID is a number and Im trying to use it in the url for a 'Send http request'

I tried to fix it by converting the id to text like this:

but now i get an error saying Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint' inputs at line '1' and column '2334': 'The template function 'text' is not defined or not valid.'.

any ideas?

Hi @RussellGove,

I think there is something issue with the Uri that you specified within the Uri field of the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action.

In addition, the text() function is not supported in expressions of Microsoft Flow currently. More details about the expressions supported in Microsoft Flow currently, please check the following article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

The flow works successfully as below:

If you could not find the ID dynamic content of the trigger, please consider take a try to click "See more" button within the "When an item is created or modified" trigger section of right Dynamic content tab, then check if the ID dynamic content has been shown up:

In addition, you could also type the following formula within the Uri field of the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action:

_api/web/lists(guid'7adab573-9d27-4129-abc0-faca0ae45fe8')/items(@{triggerBody()?['ID']})/versions

Best regards,

Kris

Thanks, I never noticed that See More button. I click that and I can get the ID.
