Adding multiple SP list items to HTML with conditions

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hey All,

I have a flow thats working but I want to put all the items that meet the condition into a table rather than multiple emails.

Heres the flow..Now the slight oddness here is that the flow errors but still send the emails at the moment. but not sure if the error is stopping the table from working.

Left

formatDateTime(item()['PermiteEndDate'],'dd-MM-yyyy')

Right

addDays(utcNow(),1,'dd-MM-yyyy')

Tried adding Select > Create HTML table after 'Get Items' and after the condition but no joy on either.

Thanks L

Hi @Anonymous

You can use the condition in the filter query expression on the get items action:

After that, you can create the HTML table and send it by email.

Hope it helps!

Oh great, so the expression in the filter would look something like this? Please excuse the spoon feeding here. i'm rather new to this.
formatDateTime(item()['PermiteEndDate'],'dd-MM-yyyy') eq addDays(utcNow(),1,'dd-MM-yyyy')

Thanks L

Exactly, using the "expression" for both condiitons.

Have a look here: Solved: Get Items Filter Query - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Re: Adding multiple SP list items to HTML with conditions

So hitting the similar error as I was before which looks like its stopping the get items.

Then i get this error
Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Get_items' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language expression 'formatDateTime(item()['PermiteEndDate'],'yyyy-MM-dd')' cannot be evaluated because property 'PermiteEndDate' cannot be selected. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

Now that column in 100% in my list and in the old flow it would work. (changed format of the date to see if that helped.) Just not sure because its erroring at the 'Get Items' step is why its not working.

Hi @Anonymous

The expression should be:

PermiteEndDate eq 'addDays(utcNow(),1,'yyyy-MM-dd')'

Please, pay attention to the single quote before and after the "addDays" expression.

Hope it helps!

Re: Adding multiple SP list items to HTML with conditions

@fchopo, I feel so bad to come back to you again. but 1 last question I promise.
So I have exactly the same flow but I'm a bit dumb so when Due date or Expiry date is a Monday i want email to be sent on Friday. Can I use the Get Items filter to help with this. I was thinking of something like this.

PermiteEndDate eq '@{addDays(utcNow(),1,'yyyy-MM-dd')}' and '@{dayofWeek(utcNow())}' eq 1

Was merely wondering if the filter allows for 'and' expression.

Thanks L

Re: Adding multiple SP list items to HTML with conditions

Dont worry I sorted it. Needed to use dayOfWeek(utcNow()) as a control rather than in the filter query

Re: Adding multiple SP list items to HTML with conditions

I guess even better solution now I think of it would of been to just to allow this flow to run on Fridays only, then no need for extra control....well there's 3 hours I wont get back...
