Looping a multi selection question from Microsoft Forms

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
I humbly see your help on the following:
Scenario:
I have a Microsoft Form to collect students' interests in different clubs. One of the questions is a multiple-choice question where students can select more than one club. I want to automate the process of sending an email to each of the selected clubs to indicate the students' interest in joining.
I have a SharePoint list that contains email addresses for each club.
---
Current Approach:
Currently, I am using conditions to match the selections and send emails to the respective clubs in parallel.
---
Desired Approach:
Instead of using multiple conditions, I want to store the output of the multi-selection question and then run a loop to retrieve the email addresses from the SharePoint list. This way, I can populate and send the emails dynamically.
This approach allows for easy updates. When new clubs are added, I can simply update the form and the SharePoint list without needing to add more parallel conditions.
---
Questions:
1. How can I store the output of the multi-selection question?
2. How can I run a loop to retrieve email addresses from the SharePoint list and send the emails accordingly?
---
Objective:
To create a dynamic flow that adapts to changes in the form and the SharePoint list, making the process of sending emails to the selected clubs more efficient.

    Hi,
     
    Here is how
     
    I created a simple form with a Mutli-Select
     
    I created an automated flow to trigger when this is Submitted.,
     
    So Apply to each From
    json(yourDynamicChoicesFieldFromtheFOrmNOT theformbody)
     
    in my case my expression for From looks like this
    json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/r574a8094e18d4507a80af8b501eb4f42'])
     
    My Compose below is just a labelled action telling you to do whatever you need to do to take the Choice value
    and query SharePoint or Dataverse or whatever you have the email stored in, so you can get it back so you
    can then Send you Email

    With my Apply to each the choice value = currentItem()
