removing data from rows to create a single email rather than multiple

Hey All!

 

Currently, I have a flow to email when a new row is created and added to a table. There are 19 columns, 4 of these take in multiple entries (but they essentially act as pairs, hazard+control / employee+employer) - this has led to multiple rows being added at one time with a single column acting as an ID to link the multiples. I have attached a diagram to give a rough idea (Name is the ID).

Now for the real issue 🙂
As stated, I have a flow set up to email for each new row that is created. I want to slim it down further. As it stands, I get an email for each row. In the example below, this is how it would look for a form filled out with 3 hazards and 3 users.

My question is - can I and/or how would I change things so that all the hazards and the controls, as well as the signatures of workers and their employers, are added to one singular email? if possible I would like to keep the little introductory message, location, the 5 questions, and the "number of signatures" parts the same.

Thanks in advance, and please feel free to ask any followup questions, I've also attached my current flow in case that helps 🙂

Hey sorry - forgot to update this one. So instead I created a flow trigger in the app, used variables to gather the data and slap them all into one email. Hopefully the images can explain what's going on a bit better than I can.

it's essentially just a bunch of variables being initialised, they get populated by a run command on the submit button at the end of my app. Then that all gets thrown into an email.

My explanation definitely sucks - but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do a horrible job explaining what I did 🙂

I need a bit more clarity on this one. The trigger of your flow is when a row is added, modified or deleted. Which is why you are getting an email for each item that is added, modified or deleted.

 

Are you looking to change the trigger (eg. have the flow run hourly, daily or weekly?).
