How to loop and send an approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 279

I have a SharePoint list that hold mulpile fruit data in the form of "Apples; Oranges; Grapes". In the Flow, I am passing this column to a string variable, then using a compose to do a split

split(variables('myVar', ';')

this is building me an array of the entries in the fruits column. When this column has data...I have a condition that checks to see if the column has fruits listed in it, then I use a "Get items" to retrieve infrormation from an inventory list.  I want to loop through and send out an approval for purchasing the friuts present in the column. So I am using an "Apply to each, for the output of my compose to loop through. The Flow works, it is sending out an approval for each fruit. How do I consolidate the send out just one approval?

    Hi @Spawn10 ï¼Œ

    I don’t understand what you mean.

    Could you please post a screenshot of the complete configuration of your flow?

    Can you post a screenshot of your SP list?

    Best Regards,

    It's just a SharePoint text column.

    HI @Spawn10 ,

    Is the fruit column a multiple-select column? Are you trying to send approval for fruit in a item?
