Error "'foreach' expression '@items('Apply_to_each')' is of type 'Object'" in due day reminder flow on Sharepoint List

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I set up a due day reminder flow in a sharepoint list. It's scheduled to run on 08:00 everyday to see any items are 2 days before target date. Then, the flow will send a reminder e-mail with the title of that item to the assignee. I found that the flow has error in sending e-mail step. The error is "The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each_2' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@items('Apply_to_each')' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array.". The flow was working at the time assignee field allowing single input only. My colleague updated the settings of assignee field to allow multiple input and the flow got error. Then, I changed back to allow single input only but the problem persists. May I know is this the root cause of this error?

 

Below are the errors I got.

    So do you want the column to be Multichoice and send to each one on the list?

    Hello @Mira_Ghaly ,

     

    We can keep it as single choice. Will this be easier to the flow? Thanks!

    Either way it should work so I guess your issue right now is that you have 2 Apply_to_each inside each other you should get rid of the second one and move the send email step to the first loop
