Flow with SharePoint and a Multiselect

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by chrisgore 2

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?  ThoughtsFlow Screen Capture

    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,

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

    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.

    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.
