How to extract email or send email of the person from person data type column? Screenshot Attached

Posted on by
Hello,
 
I have a column with name "SME Buddy Email". When certain conditions(is there change in "Send EMail column?", "is value = yes" ) occur the email needs to be sent to the SME Buddy EMail. Although I select the "SME Buddy EMail Email" value and add it to Send an email (V2) action it does not work. It either throws me error like "Send an email (V2)" action Error says "ActionConditionFailed
The execution of template action 'Send_an_email_(V2)' is skipped: there are no items to repeat.". I tried removing the for each loop but the email does not go to "SME Buddy EMail Email". 
 
What should I be doing next? How can I extract the email value correctly so the email will be sent? Currently the column setting "Allow multiple values" is Set to NO
 
I have the same question (0)

    I suspect that the For each loop is created automatically because the SP "SME Buddy Email" field allows you to select multiple people.
     
    The second thing (I'm not 100% sure) is that the "To" field does not have a semicolon separating email addresses.

    And finally, the error says that there are no elements on which the loop can iterate. To solve this, show what you have in the ForEach loop settings

    Hi,
     
    You should be taking the step out of the Loop and use a semicolon ;  as a separator between emails
    and the property for the SME Email should look like below:
