Mac issue using Power Automate

Posted on by CU13011438-0

I’ve been trying to learn Power Automate by using a mix of Copilot, ChatGPT and Grok.

Ive become stuck trying to pickup dynamic content from in the XLS from within the To field of an o365 / Send an Email (V2) card. I can do this from within the Subject and Body fields.

I’m using a MacBook and building this within 365.

Copilot has given up on me and ChatGPT & Grok have both (after suggesting multiple but ultimately fruitless approaches) eventually said that I must use a Windows platform!!

is this true?

regards

David

Please share screen shots of your flow so we can see what you are doing (redact any sensitive information). And highlight the action where you are stuck. Although, based on what you stated, the issue may just be that you need to switch the input mode of the to field by clicking on the arrow icon:

Hi @David_MA

Thank you for your post

The way I was trying to access the DynamicContent (successfully for the Subject and Body fields) was to click in filed and add a /. This then gave me a drop down list that had DynamicContent and Expressions.

My UI looks different to yours above but it did prompt me to look at the top right corner of the To field. Instead of the 'arrows' I have a 'Settings Cog Wheel'. And when I click on that it gives me a DynamicContent option --> Yay!

So much for AI (ChatGPT/Grok/CoPilot) the human touch has worked thanks to your help :)

Hi @CU13011438-0,

I believe the UI difference is because of you might be using the New designer and David is showing in the default designer(Old), we might be seeing probably this UI and selecting from dynamic content you can select as below, you need to click settings icon and select dynamic content for To
