How to take the results of a loop and out put into a single message

I am creating a powerapp that collects data within a loop then posts the output to a Teams channel. My question is there a way to wait for the loop to finish and then post the output all at once to Teams instead of once for each loop?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

Is joining all of your data with a new line as a seperator and sending that message to Teams a viable solution? E.g:
Loop1 text Loop2 text Loop3 text

In this case, instead of using the Teams message function within your ForAll() use it outside the forall combined with the Concat() function. Since I don't have your code, I will explain it with a fictive example below:

Concat( ForAll( [ "Loop1 Text", "Loop2 Text", "Loop3 Text" ], Value ), Value, Char(10) )
The example above will combine all values from my datasource (array) with an enter and return it as a string value. The end result will be the text shown in the first code block. This could be used as the content of a MicrosoftTeams.PostMessageToChannelV3 action.

If you want to use the concat, you will have to change the ForAll and most likely the Value references as well.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the info. Is there a way to handle if the number of loops is dynamic and changes?
