Action 'Apply_to_each' failed

Posted on by rmyi 1

Hi all, 

 

I would greatly appreciate some help with a simple flow that has been running into:

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

 

The flow is to automate saving the attachments of 4 emails from the same recipient to a SharePoint site.

    Hi @rmyi ,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow setup ? That will make it much easier to assist.

     

    If you want to save multiple attachments from the mail into SharePoint Document Library, maybe you could try as follows:

    If the mail already exists in the inbox, maybe you could try as follows:
