	Key takeaway: In this blog post, I’ll walk you, step-by-step, through how to loop through multiple list items in a SharePoint modern site using Power Automate.

In a previous article I wrote back in 2015, I showed you how to loop through multiple items in a list using SharePoint 2010 Workflows. In this post, I’m going to walk you through the modern version of how to achieve the same results with a more stream-lined looking email. ** With the way Power Automate works (as opposed to the old workflows), we can actually achieve the same results with a different approach. We will see this in a future article. **

The workflow will take items entered in a list that are tasks and checks the status of each task whenever you want it to. We will use the Recurrence Action in Power Automate to achieve this. I realize there may be other ways to get the same result but you can use this process for anything you want…not just projects. Keep that in mind.

For this tutorial, we are using Office 365 and Power Automate. We will create two lists and two workflows in SharePoint online.

Step 1 – Create lists
If you would rather not create the lists from scratch, you can get the list templates here but you will need to run a PowerShell script using the SharePoint Online Management Shell to allow saving and adding list templates:

$adminSiteUrl = "https://YourTenant-admin.sharepoint.com/"
$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-SPOService $adminSiteUrl -Credential $cred
Set-SPOSite "https://YourTenant.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSite" -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0

After running the PowerShell script you will see the list templates in the the Web Designer Galleries where you could upload both of the list templates provided. This is of course assuming that you are using a SharePoint modern site. If it is a classic site you do not have to run the script.

If you are creating the lists from scratch and cannot run the script:
List Name: Project Tasks. This is the main list we will use that houses all of the tasks assigned to a user. Make sure to make the Title field not required in this list. I usually make this field Hidden when you allow the management of content types(click on images to see larger versions):

Lets hide the Title field(click on images to see larger versions):

Column: Assignee – Person or Group. Required field.
Column: DueDate – Date and Time. Required field, Date Only, Standard format.
Column: Status – Choice Drop-Down Menu. Required field with the options New, In Process, Completed, and Cancelled.
Column: TaskDeliverable – Multiple lines of text. Required field, Plain text.
Column: AssigneeEmailAddress – Single line of text . Not required. I keep usually this field hidden.

List Name: Email Source. This list contains all of the necessary HTML and counts needed to compile the email. This list should not be edited by any user. In this list I also hide the Title field and make sure it is not required as shown above.
Column: AssigneeEmailAddress – Single line of text.
Column: ActiveTasks – Number. Number of decimal places = 0, Default value = 0.
Column: WeeklySummaryRunDate – Single line of text.
Column: EmailBody – Multiple lines of text, Plain text.
Column: HTMLCreated – Number. Number of decimal places = 0, Default value = 0.

Step 2 – Create Workflows using Power Automate
Login to Power Automate and click on “My Flows” in the left navigation area:

Click on “New” and select “Automated-from blank”:

In the “Build an automated flow” window enter “Add Item” as the flow name. In the “Choose your flows trigger” field, type in “Created” so that we can find the “When an item is created” for SharePoint trigger. Click on “When an item is created”, then click on the “Create” button:

If the trigger you added is not already expanded, simply click on the blue bar to expand it:

It is extremely important that we rename each action we add so that it is easy to select the correct items from the data sources when needed. Let’s rename this trigger to “Create New Task” by clicking on the three ellipses and then click on “Rename” from the menu:

Select the site where you have your “Project Tasks” list and then select the “Project Tasks” list:

If you’d like you can click on the blue bar to collapse the “Create New Task” trigger action.

Click on the “New step” button. In the “Search connectors and actions” field, type in “Update item” and select the “Update item” SharePoint action. You now have a new “Update Item” action. Let’s rename it to “Update Assignee Email Address field”.

Select the site where your lists are and then select the “Project Tasks” list:

Click in the “Id” field and then click on the List item “ID” in the Dynamic Content area. This adds it to the field. As you can see you are taking the ID of each item taken from the trigger action we created. This is why it is important to rename your actions so that it makes it easier to reference the correct fields:

Click on the “New step” button. In the “Search connectors and actions” field, type in “Get items” and select the “Get items” SharePoint action. Do not select “Get item”. You now have a new “Get items” action. Let’s rename it to “Get items from Email Source”.

Select the site and the “Email Source” list:

Click on the “Show advanced option” down arrow:

In the “Filter Query” field type in “AssigneeEmailAddress eq” and then a space after followed by a single quote (click on the image to see a close up). In the Dynamic content area on the right, select the “AssigneeEmailAddress” field or whatever you named it in the Project Tasks list. D0 not select the “Assignee Email” field. Directly after the field is added, type in another single quote(see the last image below to see the close up):

Save your workflow.

Click on “New step”. In the “Search connectors and actions” field, type in condition and select the “Condition” control. After adding it we will rename the condition “Check if Assignee Email Address exists in Email Source”:

Click in side the first “Choose a value” field and then click on the expression tab:

Click in the Expression field and paste in the following formula. The body should be the name of the “Get Items” action we added previously separating each word by underscores. Make sure to click on the “OK” button when done:
equals(length(body('Get_items_from_Email_Source')?['value']), 0)

Make sure that the condition is set to “is equal to” and “true”:

Click on “Add an action in the “If yes” condition:

In the “Search connectors and actions” field, type in “create item” and select the “Create item” SharePoint action. You now have a “Create item” action. Let’s rename it “Add to Email Source”:

Select the Site Address and the List Name “Email Source” list. In the “Dynamic content” area to the right, make sure to select the “Assignee Email Address” field(or whatever the name of your field is if you changed it) from the “Update Assignee Email Address field” section:

Click on the “Save” button. You can either click on the “Test” button and perform the trigger action or simply go to the lost and add an item. If all is well, you should see that the “Assignee Email Address” field should be populated in the “Project Tasks” list. Also, you will see an entry in the “Email Source” list that has the “Assignee Email Address” populated. On to the next Workflow. After you have saved your flow, click on “My flows” in the left navigation area.

Click on “New” and select “Scheduled-from blank”:

In the “Build a scheduled flow” window, enter ‘Create Email’ as the Flow name and set it to repeat every 1 week on Sunday’s as shown in the illustration. Please note that the “Starting” date shown is when you want the flow to start this schedule. To select the day/s you want it to run, simply click on the day. If the day is blue, that means it will run on that day. Click on “Create” when you have set up the schedule. If you would like, you can click the “Skip” button to ignore the schedule for now so you can make sure it tests correctly when we finish creating the flow.

Click on the “Save” button. Click on “New step” and type “initialize variable” in the “search connectors and actions” field. Select the “Initialize variable” Variable action. Lets rename the variable “Initialize variable fltUserTasks”. If you would like detailed steps on adding new steps/actions as well as renaming them, see the above illustrations. Make the name of the variable “fltUserTasks”, the type of the variable will be “Float”, and the value will be 0:

Continue the same steps above to initialize the following variables:
Action: Initialize variable
Rename action to: “Initialize variable strEmailBody”
Name: strEmailBody
Type: String
Value: Leave blank

Action: Initialize variable
Rename action to: “Initialize variable fltHTMLIterationsCreated”
Name: fltHTMLIterationsCreated
