Get information from KanBo Elements

Get actions allow you to get values from KanBo elements so you can use them in the next actions of your flow (for example use “card creator” value to add him to a next card that will be created in a flow).

Get Card Creator

Get Card Creator gets name, ID or email of the user which created a card.

You might find this action useful in i.e. ticketing scenarios. You can get the email of the card creator and notify the person that his ticket has been submitted in KanBo.

In this Flow:

  • The card is created from email using Incoming Mails feature (trigger),
  • Get card gets information about a card,
  • Apply to each technical step gets information about KanBo elements from Get Cards step.
    • Get Card creator gets information about the user which created a card,
    • An email is sent to use that a new ticketing request has been created.

Get Card

You will be able to get information: ID, Name and List of items.

In this Flow:

  • A card is created in a certain list (Trigger),
  • Get Card gets information what card got created,
  • A new label is added to this new card.

Get ToDo list

You will be able to get information: ID, Name, Items [id, name].

You might find this action useful in i. e. a scenario where you would like to create a card based on todo list's name and add more elements to it in the next steps or manage a Todo list created in your Flow.

In this Flow:

  • The card is created from in a list (trigger),
  • Get card gets information about a card,
  • A new Todo list is added in the card from the previous step,
  • Get Todo items gets information about this new todo list from the prevous step,
  • A new Todo item is added to this Todo list.

Get Note

You will be able to get information: ID, Name, Text inside.

You might find this action useful in i. e.a scenario where you keep a user's email in a note and would like to get it in Power Automate. You can use that later to send an email to that user.

In this Flow:

  • Card is moved to Completed list (Trigger),
  • Get card gets information about a card,
  • Apply to each technical step gets information about KanBo elements from Get Cards step.
    • Get Note gets information about notes in a Card,
    • The note’s content is an email. In the last step, we send an email message to the email address inside a note.

Get user

You will get information: the name and email of the user.

This action also checks whether the user is in a space (its scope is limited to one space).

In this Flow:

  • The trigger is the item’s creation or modification in a SharePoint list,
  • The action Get user compares SharePoint List’s property ‘Created by email’ against users of a space
  • The result is adding the mapped user to a certain card.

Other

Checking if someone created a card

In this Flow:

  • Card is added to a list(Trigger),
  • Get card gets information about a card,
  • Get Card creator checks which user created a card,
  • Condition checks if Card Creator is KanBo User 1 – if yes, user will receive an email about this.
