Multiple Email Distribution List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bliow7

Hi, I'm building a flow which sends an email when a new file is added in a SharePoint folder.

 

I'm having issues with the Email section. I have multiple email distribution list in separate excel workbooks which I was able to pull in via List rows present in table. However, when I added more than 1 output to the To/Send To section, the email gets sent in a loop.

 

Also, is there a way to not send multiple emails if a user is present in more than 1 email distribution list?

 

I have the same question (0)

    Re: Multiple Email Distribution List

    Hello @bliow7 ,

    that's because the 'List rows...' action will return an array where each row will be a separate item, and since it's an array it wants to process all the rows one by one.

    If you want to send only 1 email then you can 'Select' only the email addresses from each of the rows and then join(...) them together using ; as a separator to send the email as explained here.

     

    I don't think there's an easy way to get all distribution lists for all the users, but if you send it as a single email then it shouldn't matter how many list the user is in, he'll get just one email anyway.
