    If ADO gives "fullname <email>" try this expression in your send email to field : 

     

    slice([assigned to], add(indexOf([assigned to]'<'),1), indexOf([assigned to]'>'))
     
    Where [assigned to] is dynamic content "Assigned to".

    Assigned to looks like this, it contains name and email.

     

    i tried to add email as a separate column but ADO doesn't provide email as an option.

    Possible, if value of Assigned To is an email else you'll need to get email from else where according to Assigned To.

    Our query contains 82 work items each has its own assigned owner, so i want to send emails individually to those people on the existing mail thread.

     

    Is this Possible?

    Hi,

    Ok, few questions :

    • the "Assigned To" contains one or many emails ?
    • Why are you appending "Assigned to" to a string variable and use the "Assigned To" dynamic content in send mail instead of your variable.
    • Have you thought to add semi-colon after "Assigned To" in order to separate email in your variable ? 
    • Why using "Send an email notification (V3)" instead of "Send an email (V2)" ?
