Forms to PDF to Email Help - First Flow

Posted on by HRAmy

I am trying to create a flow from a form where the response is saved as a pdf and then emailed to multiple recipients. When I test with an actual response it gets jammed up in the 'select' action where I used the createArray function to pull the information to then create an HTML table.

Here is the error details:

Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Select' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'createArray' expects a comma separated list of parameters. The function was invoked with no parameters. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#createArray for usage details.'.

And here is the snap shot of the parameters:

This is my first flow, so I'm not sure where to look. Any advise on where to look to fix the error would be appreciated. Please let me know if more information is required.

Can you show your createArray expression? Why are you creating the array by the way?

I'm creating the array like this because I've never done it before and not sure a better way? What do you need to see?

Do you just need to print the form responses into a PDF?

Select is used only when you are dealing with Table or Array

Re: Forms to PDF to Email Help - First Flow

So I have a form with mixed text and multiple choice responses. When someone completes that form I need a pdf created and then that pdf to be emailed to a couple recipients.

It's my understanding that i need to pull the answers into an html table and then have that table converted to pdf.

Is there a better way to accomplish the same goal?

Re: Forms to PDF to Email Help - First Flow

Sorry, I'll get the hang of this!
This is what it is looking like and i don't have a "compose-styles"? If i am understanding correctly, i need to complete the Initialize variable-compose-apply to each combination multiple times and then how does it all end up in a neat little compose box like you have?

Re: Forms to PDF to Email Help - First Flow

Compose -Styles is nothing but a Compose action. I've assigned it a name for clarity. It's essential to avoid referencing multi-choice values within the Compose. Instead, refer to the variables directly to prevent the necessity of an Apply to Each loop, which may have been inadvertently introduced due to the addition of a multi-choice field.
