Hi Kenny,

 

I think you’re referring to the list item of the list. If that’s the case you can get the value of the list item using the Start event → Start variable → ID (for the SharePoint list item ID) or Item URL (for the URL of the item).

 

best regards,

Hi Kenny,

 

No, you should have the details already as your start event is linked to the SharePoint list.

If you add in a simple action like “Send an Email” and click into the body and click on Insert you should be able to see all the sharepoint columns from your list.

Hi @kennylim 

I believe that @PScyner68 has answered your question

You can use a Log to Instance action to display your starting values. Start Event ID should give you the List Item ID which started the workflow

Log Output
