Send a Mobile Notification Using Power Automate

Do you want to receive a notification on your phone when a new form is submitted or a task is assigned to you? With the help of Power Automate, we can easily send mobile notifications.

In this Power Automate tutorial, I will show you two flows: sending a mobile notification using a manually triggered trigger and sending an email notification when an item is created in the SharePoint list.

Send Me a Mobile Notification Action

Here, I am using Send me a mobile notification, Power Automate’s built-in action. It does exactly what it sounds like: it sends a push notification to your phone using the Power Automate mobile app.

You can customize the message that appears in the notification and even include dynamic content like names, dates, or values from a form or SharePoint list. It’s a quick and easy way to stay informed without constantly checking your email or app.

Note:

To receive these notifications, you need to install the Power Automate app on your mobile device and sign in with the same account you use in your flow.

Send a Mobile Notification (Manually Triggered Flow)

In this example, we will create a simple flow that sends a mobile notification when you manually trigger it.

1. Go to Power Automate, click on Create, choose Instant cloud flow, select Manually trigger a flow, give your flow a name, and click Create.

2. Add the Send me a mobile notification action and in the Text field, enter a message like:

You have manually triggered a flow!

3. Click Save, then click Test -> Manually Run the flow. Your mobile device should receive a push notification.

Ensure the Power Automate app is installed and you are signed in with the same account.

Send a Mobile Notification When a SharePoint Item is Created

In this example, we will send a mobile notification automatically when a new item is added to a SharePoint list (Task Tracker).

Now follow the steps below:

1. Go to Power Automate and click Create, choose Automated cloud flow. Give your flow a name like “Notify on New SharePoint Item.” Choose the trigger: When an item is created, select your SharePoint Site Address and List Name.

2. Add the Send me a mobile notification action and in the Text field, enter a message like:

A new item has been created in the SharePoint list.
Task Name: @{triggerBody()?['TaskName']}
Created By: @{triggerBody()?['Author/DisplayName']}

3. Save your flow. Go to your SharePoint list and add a new item.

4. After the flow runs successfully, you should receive a mobile notification with the item details.

In this tutorial, we looked at two examples: sending a notification manually and sending one automatically when a SharePoint item is created.

You can also create a scheduled cloud flow that sends notifications at specific times using Power Automate.
