Extract Email Address from Array

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by dsmith 13

Hi All,

 

Sorry if this has been posted, but I've been unable to find a close match. I need to create a notification for open items from a SharePoint list. This notification will be sent at a pre-defined schedule to any users with open items. I'm not sending a summary of the data, but rather an email template stating that the user has open items to address. I've been able to grab distinct values (thanks to another post). But I cannot seem to extract the email address(es) from the array. Can someone help out with the expression needed to extract the emails? Thanks!!

    Hi @dsmith,

     

    For testing, I have created an array using the createArray function with two email addresses.

    Then I use first function and skip function to return the first and second email address from the array.

    Please check the following flow for a reference.

    Input the following code in Compose 2 to create array:

    createArray('test4@xxxx.onmicrosoft.com','mabel@xxxx.onmicrosfot.com')

     With the following code to get the first email address:

    first(outputs('Compose_2'))

     Using this code to return the second email address:

    first(skip(outputs('Compose_2'),1))

     Please check it for a reference.

    Best regards,
