Compose not working in a 'Apply to each'

Posted on by PowerAppsUser8

I have a flow that takes information and pictures from a Power App and puts it through a JSON. I then extract information from that. I'm having issues with using composes. I have 4 composes that take apart a link that is coming from the Power App. Those pieces are then used to locate a SharePoint location and move a folder there. The link isn't changing at all and stays the same for each iteration.

For more background, the flow takes pictures from the power app and puts them in a folder that has a number. The flow then checks to see if there is a SharePoint link that is associated with the picture. If there is, then it will take that folder that is associated with the picture and move it to the SharePoint location. There could be a different SharePoint link for each picture. I want to be able to move each folder that houses those pictures to the different locations.

These are the codes that are used in each one.

Compose 6:

split(body('Parse_JSON')[0].SharePointLink, 'https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/')

Compose 7:

split(outputs('Compose_6')[1], '/')

Compose 8:

concat('https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/', outputs('Compose_7')[0], '/')

Compose 5:

concat('/', split(body('Parse_JSON')[0].SharePointLink, outputs('Compose_8'))[1])

@PowerAppsUser8 Compose is giving output based on used expression. What you are trying to achieve here? Pls explain.

TLDR; I want compose to take a different SharePoint link that is associated with a different picture instead of keeping the first link that goes through. Currently, compose is only taking the first SharePoint link and not changing. The compose is in a apply to each.

I'll try my best to explain. Let's take an example that you have 2 pictures that you want to move each to a different SharePoint location. You use power apps to take those 2 pictures and a SharePoint link is associated with each picture in the power app. Each picture has its own SharePoint link. I want the flow to be able to move each picture to the location that is attached to the picture.

I'll try to map it out

Picture A has SharePoint link "A"
Picture B has SharePoint link "B"

Flow takes both pictures > Creates folder for Picture A called "A" and then creates folder for Picture B called "B"

Flow then takes SharePoint link from picture A and moves Folder "A" to that SharePoint link. Same with picture "B"

That's basically everything. I have the compose in a apply to each. I figured that the first picture (picture A) will go through the flow and the compose will take the SharePoint link from picture A and move Folder "A" to that location. Then picture B will move through the flow and compose will take picture B's SharePoint link instead of keeping picture A's.

Does this make sense? Let me know where you are confused, and I'll try to reword.

@Hardesh15 Let me know if you need me to explain anything. The details of the compose are in the main post, but I'll paste it down here. The picture is only missing 2 parts of the flow which is just the parsing of JSON and creating the folders for pictures and moving the pictures into the folder. That works fine.

These are the codes that are used in each one.

Compose 6:
split(body('Parse_JSON')[0].SharePointLink, 'https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/')

Compose 7:
split(outputs('Compose_6')[1], '/')

Compose 8:
concat('https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/', outputs('Compose_7')[0], '/')

Compose 5:
concat('/', split(body('Parse_JSON')[0].SharePointLink, outputs('Compose_8'))[1])
