Using Compose Items In For Each

(2) Share

Posted on by cmitchener

I have a compose action which gets all of the unique titles in a list. The output of running the flow is shown below (I've blanked out the names for confidentiality purposes, but each one shows something like {"Title": "Lastname, Firstname MiddleInitial"}). I want to evaluate each of these individually in a For Each, but the flow sees them all as a single string.

Hi @cmitchener ,

You could use a Parse JSON action below this and give it an example to work with by pasting in the JSON above. This will allow you to work with each "Title" inside a for_each loop with your desired conditions.

The easiest way to solve this would be to add a Parse JSON activity like this. The content would be the Output of your Compose action and then, you should click 'Generate from sample' to paste the body content of your Compose:

Then, you can add an Apply to each activity to iterate every single Title. However, this apply to each will generate another Apply to each for the body content as follows:

I hope you find this reply useful. Thanks for your feedback!
