Issue with variable and switch function for DocuSign automation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

 

I have tried to find a way to auto-archive completed envelopes from various units, from DocuSign into specific folders in SharePoint. I have experimented a lot and hopefully, I may have found a way now. However, I am stuck since I cannot establish the correct data to be used with the switch function.

 

Here is what I have done so far:

When an envelope is completed I find the unit number by using Compose

Then I have copied a formula from one of my colleagues to be used as variable in the switch function.

I have tried to change it to outputs('Compose 2'), but I get an error from Power Automate.

When I run the flow with the initial variable: 

int('Compose 2')?['Unit Number']
The flow fails as per below (though, it has recognised the Unit Number successfully.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Please modify outputs('Compose 2') to outputs('Compose_2').

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You cannot call the current item of a loop outside the loop.

    You should put the switch in the apply to each.

    If you need to use the int function, modify the formula to:

    int(outputs('Compose 2'))

     

    Best Regards,

    Levi
