Posted on by divyeshpatel

In my Canvas power app, I am trying to send emails to those who are selected in the combo box. From the onSelect of send mail button, I have written the following code.

Set(schoolMails, Concat(ComboboxCanvas1.SelectedItems,'School email address',";"));
Notify(schoolMails);
If(!IsEmpty(ComboboxCanvas1.SelectedItems), SendMailFromCombobox.Run(schoolMails) ,Notify("Please Select Email addresses to send mails!",NotificationType.Error))

Where my concat function is working well and I can see it from the notify. but somehow I am getting the "Invalid argument type (Text). Expecting a Record value instead." error on flow run SendMailFromCombobox.Run(schoolMails). I don't know what I am doing wrong here?

hi @divyeshpatel ,
The issue you're facing with the SendMailFromCombobox.Run(schoolMails) function is due to the fact that the SendMailFromCombobox Power Automate flow is likely expecting a different data type or structure than what you're providing. Specifically, it seems to expect a record or an array of records, rather than a single concatenated text string.

Set(schoolMailsArray, Table(ComboboxCanvas1.SelectedItems)); Set(schoolMailsJSON, JSON(schoolMailsArray)); Notify(schoolMailsJSON); If(!IsEmpty(ComboboxCanvas1.SelectedItems), SendMailFromCombobox.Run(schoolMailsJSON), Notify("Please Select Email addresses to send mails!", NotificationType.Error));
