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?

P.D In the form, mailboxes can be obtained with the checkboxes selected

Regards 🙂

Re: string of mailboxes

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]
