Send email using SharePoint list (unique emails only)

Posted on by fkim

Hi all,

I am new to Power Automate, and am looking to create the following: Send an email every two weeks to contacts listed in one column of a SharePoint list. BUT: Some contacts are listed multiple times in the SharePoint column, and I don't want this flow to trigger multiple emails being sent to the same contact.

I am able to create a simple flow, but it sends multiple emails to the same contact (aka same contact email in SharePoint column 6 times? Then the user gets 6 email notifications).

Any help with screenshots, instructions, and describing the why behind each step would be appreciated. As a new user to this space, its been a lot to take in. I appreciate the help--thank you in advance!

@fkim I recently uploaded a YT tutorial that covers a similar scenario. Please take a look and LMK if you have any questions.

I cover how to collect all emails in a column and return an array of unique email addresses which can be looped through using an Apply to Each action.

Hope this helps!

Hi @fkim ,
I did a test for your reference.
In my scenario:

union(body('Select'),body('Select'))

items('Apply_to_each')['Email']

Best Regards,
