Compiling a list into an email body

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hi!
Really hoping someone can help. I have been trying to build a flow that does the following:
  • Pulls an excel table
  • Filters to just include rows that contain "TRUE" in the column "Truefalse"
  • From those rows create a list just to include the columns "Course" and Start Date"
  • Insert that list into the body of an email
So the outcome would be an email that contains something like this:
Course x - 03.12.24
Course y - 16.01.25
Course z - 12.02.25
 
I have being trying for weeks and have tried so many ways that just doesn't work so I am starting afresh. If someone could guide me on the right way to do this, I would be very appreciative! :)

    @KM-03121436-0 You might be interested in the YT Tutorial down below. Although I cover how to email multiple SharePoint items, you can apply the concepts covered in the tutorial to your flow as the List Rows Present in a Table will return an array of items (similar to the Get Items action). 
     
    The List Rows Present in a Table action can accept a single condition in the Filter Query field. You'll just need to ensure that the column header in your Excel file does not include spaces. If you need to filter by more than one condition, you can use a Filter Array action. I've linked a couple of videos on that action below. 
     
    If you still run into issues while you are building your flow, ensure you upload a screenshot of your flow. Toggle off the New Designer and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode. 
     
    How to Send a SINGLE EMAIL ✉️ with multiple SharePoint list items
    Building a Power Automate flow that will send an email with multiple SharePoint items can be a bit complex. In this video tutorial I’ll cover how to build a flow that will send a single email to each user with tasks that have been assigned to them. The logic in this flow can be applied to many different scenarios.

    First, I’ll show you how to use a Filter Query to return items from your SharePoint list that meet your criteria. Then I’ll show you how to return a list of unique email addresses so that each user receives a single email. Lastly I’ll show you how to compose an email that will contain an HTML table with a list of tasks for each user.

    Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Array Action wrong?
    In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.
    1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data
    2️⃣ Filtering by Key
    3️⃣ Substring Matching

    Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
