Creating a Flow for Multiple form responses and sending out an email at the given answer

I need to determine what actions I need to take to create a flow based off a Multiple choice response.

 

I have tried many different options; initialize variable, split, join , join json, and still haven’t gotten the flow to work correctly with any of the options I have tried.  I get the array error, unable to process template language…  cant apply each unless it is array… etc.  It is also telling me my “1PM” option is not valid??

 

Here is the scenario:

I have created a form, which the questions/responses are based off the time of day.  An excel template is filled in based off the time of the selected response and an email is sent with this template.  I should only have one email sent at the given time selected.  Ex: emails sent at 9AM with the 9AM responses, 1PM with the 1PM responses, etc.

Forms First question choices are

I have created a Apply to Each with the 5 Conditions options.  Each condition should only run if the condition before has failed.

Each Condition has the same condition flow except the Run Script will insert different response based off the time selected

My problem is trying to get the “script” responses into an array for the Apply to Each to work.  I have been working on this for 3 weeks and still can’t get it to work. 

Can anyone suggest what will work?

@Kris-t1969 Since your form selection option is a single response, would you consider using a Switch action instead?

I actually found you solution and tried it as well and it didnt work.  This is the error I got 

Krist1969_0-1694107524660.png

 

The form is set up for the associate to fill out the 9AM health check and answer questions 1-10 and then the form is submitted and sent in an email.  Those 10 responses are to be applied into a template in the 9AM specific area which is linked in the email to review.

At 1PM the associate goes back into the form and selects 1PM and this will bring them to Questions 11-15 to fill out and submit. and template fills out the 1PM specific area in the template and is sent in email..

At 2PM the associate goes back into the form and selects 2PM and this will bring them to Questions 16-25 to fill out and submit and template fills out the PM specific area in the template and is sent in email.

Etc...

 

Each time the form is filled out the "output" should either be 9AM or 1PM or 2PM etc...  but only one response to this question each time

Then the condition is specific to which output is received.

Hopefully this makes more sense??
