Extract email address from people picker array (multiple people in single list item)

I'm using the below flow to try to extract the email address from People Picker claims, but not having any luck. I tried using items('Apply_to_each_Owner')?['Owner_x0028_interactive_x0029_/Email'], but it only returns null. When I remove the /Email at the end it shows all the claims from the people picker just fine. What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    @v-qiaqi-msft Thank you for your reply.

     

    I actually tried this method on my first attempt by using "Append to array variable" action. When I do it this way I receive a different error which states: "...of type 'Array' cannot be appended to the variable 'varEmails' of type 'Array'. The action type 'AppendToArrayVariable' only supports values of types 'Float, Integer, String, Boolean, Object'."

     

    I did some research and it was telling me because the data is already of type array to use the Set action instead which gives me a different error. I'm wondering if this is happening because I have multiple people selected in a single list item in several areas.
