Using Power Automate to automatically send email from excel spreadsheet

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Robinofwicken 7

Hi all,

 

I hope you're well!

 

I am having trouble building a flow for sending emails using power automate by using an excel spreadsheet. I have tried to follow the advice in the article below, however I am experiencing some problems:

 

Power Automate Flow - Sending emails to list of pe... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

 

The flow doesn't give the correct inputs (the addresses I would assume) to the 'send an email function' and so the flow stops working. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and I've checked it many times.

 

Failing a solution, is there another way to pull email addresses from an excel and send emails? 

 

Thanks all in advance!

    Can you share a screenshot of your Excel file to see how you've stored the emails, and also screenshot(s) of your flow?

     

    Are you setting up a scheduled trigger that runs daily, or some other trigger? Any extra info you have can help to work out what you're after.

    Hi,

     

    I actually managed to get it to work after sending this! Please see screenshot below:

    I was missing the 'Append to string variable' step which prevented an error I was receiving which mentioned the data needing to be treated as an 'array'. 

     

    In summary, I don't entirely understand why but it does now work! If anyone else can offer insights then please do.
