Emailing all users on SharePoint list column

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by GBKYE2 19

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to set up a scheduled flow to email reminders to all users in a Recipients column but I keep running into errors in the 'Apply to each' tool. From research I think this may be because there isn't always more than 1 recipient so the Recipient list is passed as object instead of array?

 

Example of my attempt and the error message:

 

GBKYE2_0-1648745957583.png

GBKYE2_1-1648746096830.png

 

I intend to use 'strEmails' as input to the Outlook send email tool.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixes or alternative methods?

 

Thanks!

    Take a look at my example below.  In my example, the person or group column is called PG.

    Hi,

     

    The data type is Person/Group. I've tried applying @ScottShearer's suggestion and that seems to have worked!

    I got an error it said it needed the variable to be an array.
