Use JSON values in email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have a child flow that receives an HTTP request from its parent, and the output contains the values that the flow needs. "Parse JSON" also shows that the values are there. However, if I try to use the values from either "When a HTTP request is received" or "Parse JSON" in an email, all I get are nulls, even though I can insert the dynamic values from either step in my "Send Outlook email".  How do I get these values into my email? I've seen other posts on here asking the same question, but either the situation is different or I'm already doing what they claim will work.

 

Error message-- "To cannot be null or empty"

    Hi @Jerry_Cobbs,

     

    There is no need to use the parse JSON action to parse it, you could use the expression to extract the value directly:

    triggerBody()?['properties']['Receiver Email']
