Deepak Rawat · Answer

Yes you can update SharePoint list columns using Power Automate Desktop flows. Power Automate Desktop provides actions specifically designed for interacting with SharePoint allowing you to perform various operations including updating list columns. Here's an overview of the steps you can follow to update a SharePoint list column using Power Automate Desktop: Launch Power Automate Desktop: Open Power Automate Desktop on your machine. Create a new flow: Click on New Flow to create a new flow. Connect to SharePoint: Drag and drop the Connect to SharePoint action from the action library onto the flow canvas. Configure the action by providing the SharePoint site URL username and password to establish a connection. Get SharePoint list items: Drag and drop the Get SharePoint List Items action onto the flow canvas. Configure the action by selecting the appropriate SharePoint site list name and any necessary filters. Add a loop: Drag and drop a loop action (e.g. For Each) onto the flow canvas. Configure the loop to iterate over the SharePoint list items obtained in the previous step. Update list column: Within the loop add the Update SharePoint List Item action. Configure the action by selecting the SharePoint site list name and the specific item to update (e.g. using the loop iterator). Specify column values: In the Update SharePoint List Item action specify the values you want to update for the desired columns. You can provide new values directly or reference variables or expressions as needed. Save and run the flow: Save the flow and run it to update the SharePoint list column(s) with the specified values. By using these steps you can automate the process of updating SharePoint list columns using Power Automate Desktop. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and access rights to perform the updates on the SharePoint site.
