Variable not passing

Posted on by Maverick79

Hello,

I'm trying to build a flow that sends an email with an attachment from a network folder. I'm struggling to get the Output variables from the Filter_array to become available in get file content.

List files in folder \\ filter array \\ Get file content \\ Send Outlook email V2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi, Try this expression instead

body('Filter_array')?['Name']

OR

outputs('Filter_array')?['body/Name']

Let me know if it works or not !

Hi, Tim!

The outputs of "Filter Array" is still an array (called "body"), so if you're trying to do this for only one item you probably need to grab just the first item in the array like this:

first(outputs('Filter_array')['body'])

Which should bring back just the first object. Then you can get any property in that object, so the whole expression to get just the Name would be

first(outputs('Filter_array')['body'])['Name']

Hope that helps!

Abby
