Dynamic Content is Not Available in the 'To' field

Posted on by NM-SELFSTARTER

I asked AI and I keep getting the same answer... that fact is its not there!!!

To configure the flow correctly so dynamic content shows up in the 'To' field in the "Send an email" action in Power Automate, you can use the dynamic content feature. When selecting the 'To' field, click on the dynamic content icon (the expression icon) and choose the dynamic content you want to include, such as an email address from a previous step in the flow. This way, the 'To' field will populate dynamically based on the data available in your flow.

I need to send an email to the requestor and the person assigned... the Dynamic Content Option is just not there.....why? I was before in previous flows I have created.

Hi,

On the surface this tells me that there is no dynamic content that has an email address. Can you confirm your list has a column that is specifically an email address?

I appreciate your feedback, but yes, I tried that, it too only allows emails addresses... I have done this before multiple times... it's a bug and Microsoft needs to address it... I see others stating the same thing.... we've used it before and our flows are broke (if we need to make updates etc.)

Here is a prime example of one of my flows.... clearly using the Dynamic content... fields from my SP List.. I use this for all my flows... emailing specific people assigned to an item etc.
