Flow with SharePoint and a Multiselect

Posted on by chrisgore

I have a Flow I am trying to build that takes a simple SharePoint list, captures the data from the list item when it is created then sends an email. One of the fields in the list is a multi-checkbox. In the Body of the email I am representing that field but the way I have it configured, it sends separate emails for each of the multi-selected items. I would like it to in it one email. Maybe comma separated for each of the fields that are checked? Thoughts Flow Screen Capture

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm running into this exact issue right now, and not having much luck finding a solution.

A possible solution would be to create a string variable. Then, loop through each item in the multi-select column and append each value to the string variable with something like a comma between each entry.

Then send the email and reference the string variable and not the multi-select column.

If you need screen shots, let me know.

Creating a string variable is how I was able to solve it. Initialize the variable and then append to string variable.

Hi Scott,

If you can, can you give a brief example as to how that would look? I have a very similar application to the initial question - I am populating a word document with SharePoint list conent. In the case of multi-select columns, a document is created for each choice.

Respectfully,

Austin
