Hi community,

 

im trying to create an email to notify of new task assigned from a sharepoint list.

the data pull from 2 columns - task lead, and task member

task lead is a people column with single selection   - no issue for this

task member is a people column with multiple selection - issue here

 

For email address setup, i followed this (

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Multiple-selection-people-picker-causes-multi-emails/td-p/564839

) with success. but im stuck at email body. does anyone know what can i do?

 

The result i want:

Hi [Task Lead] cc [Task Member 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
