Hi,

I am developing a flow in which I need to build up a string containing email addresses to send an email to. I have a Get items action to get all the rows from a SharePoint list. Then I have an Apply to each to loop through each of these rows. In this action I Append to string variable. However, the final variable is always set to the last row in the Get Items action., rather than appending each row as expected.

This is the relevant section of my flow:

When I test the flow I can see that for each row of the Get items action, the Append to string action always overwrites the 'Extended GBU Team Emails' variable.

Hey @petewalburn

It shouldnt happen like that. Maybe you are just checking apply to each value. That will just show you the current value that it appended.

Can you try this thing. Add a compose action outside apply to each and pass the variable in it. Now you will be able to see that all the emails have appended into that variable.

Probably you are reading the value incorrectly. Rest I see no problem in your flow. Can you also tell the ultimate goal of this? Like at the end you will send the same mail to all the people.

Thanks very much. Adding the compose after the Apply to Each did show that the variable is populated properly with all the emails.

Yes, the ultimate goal is to send the same email to all of the people in th elist.
