Microsoft Flow: Send customized email when new SharePoint list item is added

Here we will discuss how we can work with Microsoft Flow in SharePoint Online Office 365. Here we see how we can use Send a customized email when a new SharePoint list item is added.

I have a SharePoint Online site, where I have a list name as "MyFlowTestList". In this list, we are going to add a Flow to it. Follow below step to do this.

If you are new to Microsoft Flow then you can see my previous posts on Microsoft Flow in the below URL.

Open the SharePoint Online site and then open the particular list. Then click on Flow -> Create a flow.
