Blank output from filter array flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 56

I'm trying to send automated emails with multiple variables. I'm also adding a table in the email. but it only needs to add the table rows for each applicable contact. and this is where i get stuck. I've followed a video from youtube and replicate the steps but i think at filter array it went wrong. my input looks okay, but my output is blank. Any idea why this is blank? or how could i manage this?

    Hi, Show us filter action configuration, your issue may come from the dynamic contents you populated there.

    Ok nothing wrong from Parse JSON output, the last thing I didn't checked is your "Retrieve all data" output, the "Email" dynamic content is either not the right one (I can see a "E_mail Medisch..." in the select all emails action) or "Email" haven't same value as Parse JSON one.

    The "retrieve all data" is a list row from excel. one of the columns names in the excel is "E_mail Medisch techniek" where it needs to select and gets its emails.  the Parse JSON gets its content from the output of "get unique emails". where i used the union expression.

    Ok, I built a test case flow with same actions, but couldn't reproduce behavior, I got rows I had to get.

    In your flow:

    Is this Email dynamic content same as the following, because they look different ?

    I see nothing in your flow that could make it fail, except that data you're comparing are not matching.

    so i started a complete new flow, and now i'm almost there. i'm only missing two values in my email. for some reason the "select output" is causing this. i use the exact same file and the input recognize the values in the excel, but output is Null. any idea why? i'm reffering to CDM/SDM name and Email CDM/SDM

    Because you have "/" in your column title. PA replace it by "~1" in path selector.

    item()?['CDM~1SDM Email'] instead of item()?['CDM/SDM Email'] because if it keeps "/" it would try to find a property called "SDM Email" of an object called "CDM".

     

    As far as I know you can't escape this, obviously ~1 make PA failing to reach value. Rename your column.
