Dear community, I am looking for an example where I have to pass an array of emails in flow. The emails are from SharePoint list columns. I have to check each value against another list. If there exists a replacement for an email, replace in the original array else keep the email value as is. After every email is processed, return an array back to calling flow. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Nived_Nambiar

1. Are you attaching emails to a sharepoint list items? Yes

2. what does list contains to which you comparing each email ? It contains information about delegation users when user is on leave, user email, delegated to email, from date and to date

3. what you meant by return an array back to calling flow ? Basically create an array with new updated values

Hey @Nived_Nambiar basically email contained in array should be searchable in username column under the list. if there exists user email which is also part of array then pick up corresponding email from delegate to email and replace it in the original array in place of original user email. If there is no occurrence, the item at that index in array should remain as is.

Hi @Nived_Nambiar that’s correct. Constructing an array of emails from first list columns and then compare against the second list and updating first list column values
