Sending email to multiple people from people picker in sharepoint list

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I am trying to send multiple emails to people selected in a sharepoint people picker field called 'Approval needed by'. I can see that multiple emails are being pulled from the sharepoint list in my 'Get item' action but I am not sure how to parse/ seperate these emails into different variables. 

Here are the emails shown in the Odata

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you want to get each single email address from the multiple selected person column "Approval needed by" in the item?

If you want to get each single email address from the "Approval needed by" column in the item, please refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

When an item is created in the list, the flow would run successfully as below:

 

Best regards,

Hi Alice,

Thanks for the reply. 

I can't seem to get approvals to send to the individual emails. When I put the 'start approval' within the apply to each, it only sends to one email. When the 'start approval' is outside the apply to each, I am not able to select the output of the compose action (shown in picture below). Please could you advise on a workaround. Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

Please refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

Please make sure you have add a semicolon after the dynamic content in the "Append to staring variable" action.

Best regards,

Alice
