Get items sharepoint - String containing title

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 34

Hello

 

I'm building a flow where i want to get items from a sharepoint list, but only the ones where a certain (long) string contains the exact characters from the sharepoint list. Next i want to send an email to the corresponding email adress in this list.

 

Example:

string: kfdjmkfjdkjfqkfdhdeioznxbhozn,eihdàzkojArras,DariuskkddokdnnoldnPrince,Phillipedkjsbuxoznwllcncnjhjgkhfjdheztreeytrkbk

(i have this string contained in a compose action)

 

list:

Titlefield_1
Doe,JohnJohndoe@hotmail.com
Arras,DariusArras_darius@gmail.com
Armstrong,LouisArmstrong@....
Prince,PhillipeHRHPhillipe@gov.eu

 

So sending 2 separate mails to Arras_darius@gmail.com  and HRHPhillipe@gov.eu

 

I want to use ODATA filters because the list is very long, as opposed to using filter array.

I've tried using contains(outputs('compose'), Title); substringof (outputs('compose'), Title); substringof (outputs('compose'),  item()?['Title']); ...

 

Is there a way to make this work?

 

Thanks for any help!

    Dear N,

    I can think of 2 ways to help you futher:

    1. Filter the Get items array from the Action itself (view screenshot below).
    2. Filter the Get items array by a follow up action 'Filter Array'.

    Both should get you the results you need.

    For further details on how to configure the filter expression used, suggest you try to ask 'ChatGPT' and just try what works for you.

     

    Hope the suggestion helps,

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
