Array Variable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bill_Hand 45

I am grabbing email address and display name from a list.

I am then looping through the distinct emails and sending an email to each one.  However, I am not sure how to get the display name into the email.

I though I could add both values to an array variable and then grab the name from it?  Not sure how to actually do it though.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks

    Hi @Bill_Hand,

     

    Could you please share more details about the sharepoint list?

    Could you please share more details about the email address and display name column in the sharepoint list?

    How would you want to get the display name into the email?Could you please share a example of that?

     

    Please share more details so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    The list is contains a number of items that are assigned to a specific person (person field).  

     

    I did find a solution to the what I was trying to do.  I added both the email address and display name to the array variable and then created 2 new variables: email,display name and assigned them values using this formula: 

    split(first(variables('DistinctEmails')),',')[1]
     
    Thanks for following up.
