"Apply to each" failure

Posted on 20 Jul 2021 17:01:15 by ahhunter

Hello, all! Power Automate informs me that this is a "new issue" and I should ask the community for help! I get the following error when I test a flow I've created:

The execution of template action 'Apply_to_each' failed: the result of the evaluation of 'foreach' expression '@triggerOutputs()?['body']' is of type 'Object'. The result must be a valid array.

The purpose of the flow is to send the responses from a Form I created to a pair of other people in my office. Here's what the flow looks like. Does anyone have any tips on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!

"Apply to each" failure

So I've also used array() to solve my apply to each issue. However in the next action in the apply to each I want to use an 'id' field from the array - however I can't seem to figure out how achieve this - can anyone help?

Hey Guys

I am having issue with a power automate flow, I keep getting this error
The input parameter(s) of operation 'Apply_to_each' contains invalid expression(s). Fix invalid expression(s) for the input parameter(s) of operation 'Apply_to_each'.

Could do with some help, thanks 🙂

Hi @Nived_Nambiar

Yes, the reviewers column is set to multi-selection in Sharepoint. There will always be multiple reviewers.

Hi @smalumi

Regarding the error, i need to ask one question

1. Does the Reviewers column is multi selection column in sharepoint ?

if not then there is no need to use apply to each flow then, you can directly specify reviewer's email to send email action.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks again @Nived_Nambiar

With regards to the same flow, My trigger is "when an item or file is modified" ,"Get Items" from library and update SP List, then "Apply to each" specific Metadata from the library that will be sent to multiple reviewers.

It seems we have omitted the SP List in the above.

Looking forward to your response😊

Hi @smalumi

I did not see the usage of create item in your flow before, also if you need to add data to your email from list item, you can add it to body of email
