Find the ListId

You can find the ListId by navigating to the SharePoint list, and then copying the URL, and finding the ID.

To find the ListId

  1. Open SharePoint, and navigate to the list that contains your workflow.
  2. Click Edit this list, and then click List in the ribbon.
  3. Click List Settings.
  4. Copy the URL, and find the text after List=.
  5. Remove "%7B" from the front of the list.
  6. Remove "%7D" from the end of the list.
  7. Change %2 to a hyphen. This will change the following string:
    %7B9D5F2138%2DC9E6%2D4473%2DA094%2DD7F4284C0388%7D
    to
    9D5F2138-C9E6-4473-A094-D7F4284C0388.
