Send email to specific users when a new list item is created

I'm trying to create a flow where an email is sent when a new item is added to a list. The email needs to be sent to specific people that change based on the item request.

I want to make it so that there is a field to fill in on the list form with the people the email needs to be sent to and then the flow will send an email to them alerting them that a new item has been created.

I was able to send a general email but that was only sent to the creator of the item.

Hi @Bhavana-5217 ,

This can be achieved.

You could first create a people column in your library:
122301-23.jpg

Then in your flow use People Email:
122311-22.jpg

And the user will receive the email:
122228-24.jpg

Hi! Thank you, this works.

II would also like the email to contain a few other entered values from the list. There are a few other populated values like Company, Time, Model, etc. How would I get those to also show up in the auto generated email?

Hi @Bhavana-5217 ,

In the body you could click Add dynamic content and choose the column you want. Glad to hear that my suggestion is useful. Please mark this answer as an "accepted answer" to help more people. Thank you for your support and understanding! :)

Hi @ElsieLu-MSFT ,

I apologize, I thought the flow was working but it isn't. The people column, do I set that as an email? If so, how do I do that? When I create the column, what do I select the "type of information" as (attached screenshot)122774-1.png? Because, I created the people column as a Choice and typed in a persons name but that name wasn't converting to an email.

I also tried selecting "Person or Group" but that wasn't populating with any results.
