Hi All,

GREETINGS FOR THE DAY 🙂 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂

Today new issue and solution 🙂

Issue / Error : We have migrated our On-Premises SharePoint site to SharePoint online.

In migrated SharePoint online site, on one list when we create / edit item email should be triggered. Email should be sent to members of one SharePoint group

Workflow get completed successfully but email to SharePoint group is not sent

Details :

Since we have SharePoint workflow as it is in SharePoint online, for time being we kept as it is (migrating to Power Automate as next plan)

So we have simple workflow which just should send an email to group set in “Assigned To” field of list

List Schema : Here we are using sample list schema as

Columns :

• Title
• Task Description
• Assigned To

SharePoint group – “Workflow Demo” :

As in above figure we have an one item in list and SharePoint group – “Workflow Demo” as a value in “Assigned To” field

Workflow :

We have simple workflow which sends and email to “Assigned To” field as

Workflow is configured to trigger on “new item creation” and on “update item” as

Here, Workflow has no issues , no errors, get saved successfully, published successfully.

When we create / update item in our SharePoint list, workflow get triggered successfully but email is not sent

Solution :

Everything looks ok. But when we were selecting look up field – “Assigned To” to send an email as

Here in “To” field of Email, we are selecting the “Assigned To” field of current item from list

While selecting “Assigned To” field from list, please note that we were selecting value of “Return field as:” – “Email Address” and here we were doing mistake

Actually, for SharePoint group we need to select value of “Return field as:” to “Login name” then only workflow resolve users and send appropriate email as

I hope this small finding will help you and save the time 🙂

Thanks for reading 🙂 HAVE A GREAT TIME AHEAD 🙂
