Dynamic table in Approval Flow

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Is it possible to create a dynamic table in an Approval Flow email? I'm trying to create an approval flow that sends an order summary with order line items in a table for Approval. The documentation I've seen on how to create a table using Markdown seems to only work for a fixed size table, but I don't know ahead of time how many rows the table is going to consist of

Hi!

You already managed to add a static table using Markdown from a variable into your approval, right? If so, it should be possible also to provide your flow the logic to generate a dynamic table and store it in that same variable.

Hope this helps

@efialttes I haven't managed to even put the static table in a variable because the documentation requires a CR at the end of each row (See screenshot of documentation below)and I'm not sure how to do that in a variable, if I try to select an attribute of my Order line item from the Dynamic content, my approval message gets wrapped in an Apply_to_each control meaning I'd be sending multiple email for each row in the table (see screenshot below)

Hi
There is an old trick to add CRs, not sure if it will work here.
Add a Compose action block, hit Enter key. Whenever you want to add a CR, and assiming the new Compose is called 'Compose CR', just combine in the same expression the function concat() and the Compose CR result: outputs('Compose_CR')

Hope this helps
