Get Rows from SQL and Add to Details Markdown of Approval ACtion

[schuess3]

I am just trying to Get Rows from SQL and then get them into the Details section of an Approval.

My thought process was 

1. Get Rows from SQL
2. Build an Array Variable with the values from 1 column in sql (a text URL)
3. Manipulate that Array of Items to work with the "Link Markdown" that is allowed in the "Start and wait for an approval" action

I can't figure out how to do that.

Hi @schuess3 ,

Do you want to add a link in the approval details?

From the doc Use Markdown in Microsoft Flow approval requests # links, we know that HTTP and HTTPS URLs are automatically formatted as links.

I have set up the flow likes below, and the URL works properly.

Initialize an array variable named as Test.

Get rows from the SQL table, a column named “URL” included in the table.

Add Apply to each, and action Append to array within the loop, configure the value field likes below:

[ColumnName](URL)

Under Apply to each add Compose action with the following link:

join(variables('Test'),';')

Add Start and wait for an approval action, select Compose output for the Details field.

An image for your reference.

Best regards,

Your solution works! Thank you. 

Follow-up, if i wanted to put each URL on a new line, how might i alter this to accomplish that?

Thanks

Matt

Did you ever find a solution to putting each item returned on a new line? For example, @v-yamao-msft join formula uses a semi-colon to separate each item.

I would also like to split each item onto it's own line for readability sake
