Power Automate SharePoint List Multiple Selection email notification

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 68

Hello,
I am trying to send an email notification in Power Automate with variables for two columns in a SharePoint list that are multiple selection. I am able to send the email notification but instead of the email displaying choice1, choice 2 with a comma or even a space in between them they show as choice1choice2. The email is sent based on a condition if one of the columns has a certain value.

    @ToddM11 In your Append to String variable action you have the dynamic content in the value field—this is why it's outputting as choice1choice2.

     

    If you want to have a comma and a space, you need to add a comma and a space after your dynamic content.
