Checking email sender against SharePoint list

Hi, I am trying to create a flow that will check if the sender of an email matches any entries SharePoint list of email addresses and domains.

I am having trouble with the Apply to Each element, running this:

Give me the error:

Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition_2' at line '1' and column '29386': 'The template language function 'contains' expects parameters of matching types: a dictionary and a key (string), an array and a value (object), or a string and a substring. The provided types 'String' and 'Object' are incompatible. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#contains for usage details.'.

ActionFailed. An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded.

This method below runs, but always triggers "No", despite the email address being on the list.

I must be missing something in how the "Apply to Each" function works with SharePoint lists...help!

I suggest for troubleshooting is inside your apply for each loop , add to compose data operations , one add to it the Title and the other one the From, You can then check flow history to understand what is going on.

Thank you, that did shed some light on the issue. The second screenshot was actually working properly, but my logic was incorrect in that I forgot it was really applying to each entry in the List, so each time an entry didnt match the From address, it would trigger a No. I changed the apply to each instead increment a variable, and then perform a standalone action based on the condition of the variable.

Thanks!
