Hi everyone!


I have a form from 'Cognito Forms' where i connected a Ms Flow to create and send outlook calendar event with the data. But, in optional attendees textbox data come with square parenthesis symbol that no recognize it

How i can delete square parenthesis or indicated for textbox optional attendees they are many mailboxes separated with semicolon?

    Hi @ncancino ,

     

    You an use the Replace() function to find and remove the square brackets and other other characters.

     

    replace(your string value,what to replace,what to replace it with)

     

    replace(variables('MyString'),'[','')

     

    Alternatively, you can also save the output to an Array variable and loop through the array or access individual emails via the index to build your email string

     

    variables('MyArray')[0]
