Posted on by smithj

I am trying to write what I think should be a very simple flow where a planner task is created based on a outlook calendar event that then assigns the task in planner to attendees of the outlook event. This is what I have so far

If I take out the assigned user ID the task creates ok. I just cannot get it to assign

Any ideas?

this is the error i get:

The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@items('Apply_to_each_2')?['EmailAddress']' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array.

Hi @smithj,

If you want to create tasks for individuals, I think you should configure your flow as below:

Since the email address is splitted with a semi colon, so I used Filter array to remove the blank string, then loop through the array of attendee email address, create task for each user.

split(outputs('Compose'),';') empty(item())
