Start and wait for an approval (Dynamic email)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello community,

 

I have a problem where when I create the task start and wait for an approval (referenced against Microsoft list).

I want the email sent out to the approver to be dynamic in the title (subject line) and parts of the body

  

-> this is because my Microsoft list has a choice column drop down list that I would like to reference and I need to it to output what ever the requester selects.

   -> specifically the two pointed to need to be dynamic based on drop down choice list

    You should use DisplayName property of the people object. It should be available for selection like below... If its a multi selection, you will have to run a loop outside this action, use append to string and create a semi colon separated string, Then use that string.

    Hi Prasad,

     

    The column I'm referencing from Microsoft list is not a multi selection but a choice column with multiple options to choose from, but only 1 choice

     

    Please advise 

     

    Thank you

    okay.  Are you using Value portion of Choice column then?  Please refer below where I have a country as choice field and I get Country Value to select.
