Hello Citizen Developers!

I get more and more questions about Power Automate. One of the recent questions is about how to look up a person field from SharePoint using Power Automate. I’ll give you a bit of the background in a second. Power Automate is really awesome for citizen developers. There are a lot of triggers and actions that are easy to understand and use, such as send email, create a list item in Sharepoint etc. But there are also techier, nerdier actions that are less citizen developer friendly. One of them is Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint. It might be the answer to many challenges, intimidating at first, but powerful and, hopefully, not so complicated once you’ve tried it. This post is about this very action and how you can use it to simplify your flow.
