Send an Email to an Sharepoint Security Group

Great! You’re building a reusable Power Automate workflow that:

  • Sends an HTTP request to SharePoint to get members of a SharePoint security group
  • Parses the response
  • Loops through each member
  • Sends them an email

You’re now asking for a complete reusable reference document or documentation content so you or others can replicate this next time, easily.
