How to get value from an filter-array

I build a reminder-flow (based on a library & with calculated columns) that ended up to look like this:

It is almost done but I am stuck at the very last step:
The mail should be send to the "Manager" (column) of the item.
But if I want to add this dynamic field, a second "Apply to each" with the values of "Get files" is needed which unfortunately breaks my Filter Array, which results in no filter at all.

This is how the flow looks after I choose the dynamic field "Manager Email".

 

I tried a work-around which should compare the item from the filter array with the items from "get files" to only end up with my filtered output, but it seems like that they differ to much since I only get "false" thrown.

    How do we use them as a dynamic content again ?

    Hi @Kuchen ,

     

    You need to use the expression to get the attribute values contained in the Filter array. Like:

    Hi there.  Check out this video from Elaiza Benitez on avoiding the Apply to Each loop.  It will also walk you through grabbing specific elements of an array.

     

     

    Keep us posted.
