convert Variable Array to String

Posted on by 270

hi all,

 

solved: see comment

 

 

i have a variable array which is storing a bunch of data and and i'm trying to get this into a string format so i can transpose it into an email as a text block.

 

I found this post for a similar problem and have replicated what was found to be the solution but it didnt seem to work for me.

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/How-to-convert-Array-variable-to-string-to-use-in-send-email/td-p/382120

 

 

This is the array setup:

This is the string set up which is directly below the array

this is the error message i am getting when i try to test.

worth noting: if i remove the string aspect it will run and generate the multiple items in the array as expected i know thats working fine. it's just the converting to a string thats causing an issue

    Hi @mrleetyler 

     

    Could you please post  full screenshot of your flow? Is your initialise string and combine to String are outside the loop of Create Array?

     

    Thanks
