Help needed: Send Email with Options: 'SelectedOption' not in dynamic content

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi PA community,

 

I built a Flow that sends an e-mail with options when a new SP list item is created and also passes the attachment.  Had some trouble with the attachment bit at first but was able to get it to pass to the e-mail after some tail chasing. (long story, originally used the Approvals connector but it still doesn't appear to support attachment passing in the approval mail).  Instead I am using 'Get Attachment', 'Get Attachment Content' and 'Send Email with Options'

 

The attachment passes in the e-mail with 3 options:  Approve, Reject and More Info Needed.  That part works flawlessly.

 

However, I also need to update the list item with decision the recipient enters in the e-mail (e.g. User Option of Approve, Reject or More Info needed).  From what I researched (examplethis should simply be the [SelectedOption] but "SelectedOption" isn't available in the dynamic content.  

 

Am i missing something in my Flow?

    Hi @chhowa , 
    you should use switch statement just as it's been shown here

    I just tried it and it works fine for me.  I see the SeletedOption value when filling out the condition.  I would try it again with the default settings first and see if maybe the "More Info Needed" needs to be in quotes or something.

    Thank you both for your replies.  The Switch case totally worked!
