Assigned to column in Sharepoint List

Hi, I created a manual list (without using the Issue Tracking List) and need to add the 'Assigned To' function. Is there a way to do this through PowerApp as I know through Sharepoint it does...

Hi Mo_Islam,

I'm a little unclear on your question... In a SharePoint custom list, you can add a "People" type field and call it AssignedTo (or whatever). Or are you looking for something else?

Sandy Ussia Hi, I've figured out that I need to add the 'People' field which will search for email, but not sure how to notify the user.

In the Issue Tracking app, this is done for you where an email with all the list details is sent to the Assigned user, but I don't know how to do it if I am creating this under the 'List' application.

  Hi Mo_Islam,
  
  Create a Power Automate Flow to notify the user. Consider the "Send a customized email when a new SharePoint list item is added" template as a starting point.
  
  I hope this helps.

    Could you give an example of how to send email notifications to a person in an "assigned to" identify field if a specific record that their identity is selected in that field - is created or changed please.
