Alert when tasks are assigned to me across multiple SharePoint lists (private Teams channels)
Hello everyone, In my company we use SharePoint lists (not Planner) to manage tasks inside private Teams channels. Each project/team has its own task list, and people assign tasks to colleagues using the "Assigned To" column. My challenge: I would like to receive an automatic alert (email or Teams message) every time a task is assigned to me, regardless of which SharePoint list/site it comes from. The problem is: I don’t know in advance when someone will create a new list. Power Automate triggers (When an item is created or modified) need to be configured for each list individually. Planner/To Do integration would solve this, but Planner is not available for private Teams channels in our tenant. So, my questions are: Is there any way to catch all tasks assigned to me across multiple SharePoint lists without manually creating a flow per list? Are there any best practices for consolidating assigned tasks from multiple SharePoint lists into a single place (dashboard, notifications, central list, etc.)? Any advice, examples, or workarounds would be very welcome! Thanks in advance, Hugo Cristina
Copying lookup column value from one SharePoint list to another
Hello. I am having some difficulty when I try to copy the values in a SharePoint lookup column from one list to another. Both lists have the same lookup column called "Sponsor" and they are both referencing the same list called "Sponsor Values". The Sponsor column is also a multi-selection drop-down in both lists, so I need to copy over all values. The Sponsor Values list that is being referenced only has columns ID and Sponsor Name. I have a Power Automate flow setup that copies information between list A and list B, but the Sponsor field does not copy over. Can anyone help with how I need to go about doing this in Power Automate?Power Automate for Consumers (Microsoft 365 Family)

Checkboxes on Power Apps form will not save after submitting form via SharePoint
Hello Power Apps community, I have a Power Apps form that is submitted by users from a SharePoint Online list. The form contains several checkboxes, among other fields. My issue is that when a user selects a checkbox or multiple checkboxes, it does not display which checkboxes were checked after opening the saved form. My objective is to modify the form so that I will be able to open a saved form and see which checkboxes the user has checked for a given form. As of right now, I have not included any formulas for any of the checkbox properties. I have reviewed similar discussions and I may be wrong but none seem to help my situation. Any support is greatly appreciated.Flow Action - Convert Word Document to PDF
I'm trying to use the Convert Word Document to PDF action in a Flow. There are three parameters that have to be entered: Location - the SharePoint Site Document Library - Library where the document is located. File - The document to convert The parameter that I'm having an issue with is the File. The flow works if I choose the specific document from the library but I want it to be dynamic so that when the user starts a Flow on the document it will convert that one, so I don't want to hardcode the document name. For the File property I'm using the property from a previous step with the file name called File name with extension. When I run the flow I get an error, "There was an error accessing the file. Please try again or select a different file." Can I not use dynamic content for the File property? Thanks

Reference "File" from "For a selected Item" in SharePoint
Hello I got a SharePoint list (List A) where I run a "For a selected Item" event that collects text and a file (attachment) that I then use to populate a different list (List B). I can use the text to populate List B through "Create Item", but I haven't been able to "Add attachment". I've looked for the answer, but I haven't understood how to reference the file content and the file name to use "Add attachment". The "For a selected Item" gives the outputs as shown below: "Testing flow", and ContentBytes and Name for the file, but I can't use them to "Add attachment". I will very much appreciate your help.

Add File Path to List of Extracted Data Fields

Sending a PDF file as an email attachment with Power Automate corrupts attachment
I have followed this great tutorial for creating and sending digital certificates to event participants (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/educator-developer-blog/send-digital-certificate-to-event-participants-in-8-easy-steps/ba-p/3697139), and everything worked except for the last step which is sending the email with the certificate attached. I am able to receive an email with the pdf attached however, the file is corrupted and I'm unable to open it. When I check the pdf file in my share point it is not corrupted so the issue seems to be in the step of sending the email. I tried using base64ToBinary(base64(body('Convert_file'))), when I added this I was able to open the pdf attachment but the pdf was empty and the content was erased. Please let me know if there is any way to overcome this issue.
