An error when composing data from "Apply to each"

Posted on by DavidLin

Hello,

I have a table with BU, FTY and item information.
I would like to get BU and item information for each supplier, create HTML table and send email.

I created a flow as below, but when I save the flow, it shows this error message

"Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Compose' at line '1 and column '47860' cannot reference action 'ComposeHTML'. The action 'ComposeHTML' is nested in a foreach scope of multiple levels. Referencing repetition actions from outside the scope is supported only when there are no multiple levels of nesting.'.'."

Wish anyone can help on this.

@DamoBird365 , I followed one of your Youtube video concept on creating this flow, maybe you can help on this.

Hello, @DavidLin

Based on the context that you give, the issue of getting that error is due to the fact that you're looping two times.

I would recommend to initialize a variable in the begining of the flow, and then append to the variable the output inside of your loop, instead of using a compose action.

Or try to create the action "send an email" inside of your loop, and see what happens.

Let me know if I was able to help you.

Please 'Thumbs Up' the posts that helped you and 'Accept as Solution' if my post answered your question.

Happy Automating,

Hi @edgarsimoes , Thank you! Your suggestion to use append to string worked, I changed the flow like below. It's simpler than what I thought.
BTW, I am still looping two parameters, one is supplier, and another is BU in my current loop with "append to string". Could you help to elaborate more about your saying "the issue of getting that error is due to the fact that you're looping two times." and help me understand more the reason on this issue?
