Hello -
 
I have a Sharepoint project site.  I used the Sharepoint project site template to create it.  The site is great.  I have a tasks, due dates, assignments... everything.  I created a flow to send reminder emails when a task is due.  The flow works great.  There's only one problem.  I want to reference the name of the task in the email.  However, when I add in the 'Title' variable to the email, nothing is displayed.  I've attached a screenshot showing the part of the flow that references the task name.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to why it pulls everything else from the task (due date, assigned to name, assigned to email, etc.); but not the task name?
 
Thank you

    It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. Toggle off the New Designer and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.
     
    In the meantime, you might be interested in this YT Tutorial:

    Building a Power Automate flow that will send an email with multiple SharePoint items can be a bit complex. In this video tutorial I’ll cover how to build a flow that will send a single email to each user with tasks that have been assigned to them. The logic in this flow can be applied to many different scenarios.

    First, I’ll show you how to use a Filter Query to return items from your SharePoint list that meet your criteria. Then I’ll show you how to return a list of unique email addresses so that each user receives a single email. Lastly I’ll show you how to compose an email that will contain an HTML table with a list of tasks for each user.

    The logic of your flow needs to be adjusted. Its inefficient to loop through all of your SharePoint items using the Apply to Each action and running a Condition check on each item.
     
    You need to first filter those items out using a Filter Query. Then loop through the items that match your criteria. Also, it looks like the Assigned To column is a multi-person column which is why you have a nested apply to each action. 
     
    I have a tutorial that covers how to send a notification for a SP item assigned to multiple users: How to Handle Multi-Person SharePoint Item Notifications in Outlook and MS Teams with Power Automate

    The tutorial I linked previously covers a scenario where each task is assigned to a single user. 

    In this Microsoft Power Automate tutorial I’ll cover how to create a flow that is triggered by selecting an item. This automation will send an email to all assigned users for the selected task. I’ll also show you how to adjust your flow so that you can send a message in Teams. Then I’ll show you how to collect a list of unique users that have been assigned to multi-person tasks. Using this concept, we’ll edit the flow from the previous tutorial so that it works with a multi-person column.

    ✅  How the multi-person column data outputs
    ✅  How to use the Select action to get all assigned to users of a SharePoint item
    ✅  How to use the Join action to convert an array of email addresses into a string
    ✅  How to send a single email to all assigned to users of a SharePoint item
    ✅  How to send an email to each assigned to user of a SharePoint item
    ✅  How to send a Teams message to each user assigned to a SharePoint item
    ✅  How to return a list of unique users from the multi-person column in a SharePoint list
    ✅  How to use a Filter Array action to return all SharePoint list items assigned to each user
    ✅  How to group Power Automate actions together with the Scope action
    ✅  How to edit a previous flow
