Hi Flow Community,
I have been trying to create a flow which will allow me to notify users when a task date is due.
So far, i have managed to create a condition which knows to send an email alert to the assignee when the date is due.
However, i have recieved feedback that users may prefer to have all due task in a single email because they do not want to receive an email for every single due item on the list.
So i ask Power Community, does anyone know how to set a step which picks all due task for specific assignee on the list and arranges them into an email?
Any form of help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tosin

Hi @Tosyn_88,
You could use Create HTML table action to send emails that contain a full list of all the items from a previous step.
Please take the following flow configuration for a reference:
>Under the Get items action, adding the action Create HTML table. You could customize the columns with Custom enabled for the Columns field.
>In the Send an email action, select the dynamic content Output from the Create HTML table action, then enable Yes for the Is HTML field.
Please take a try with it on your side.
Best regards,
Mabel Mao

I was wordring if you have got response on this, as I am facing the similar problem.
I want to create a flow which does below when a item is created in List 1 : -
1. get Items from List 2
2. Filter Items based on condition ( if Unique ID of list 1 = Unique ID of List 2)
3. Send filtered items from list two for approval in a table format
4. Update approval status in List 1.
When I followed the abouve suggetion, I am able to reach till step 2 but at step three I am getting approval emails equal to the number of rows in created HTML table.
Please Help !
This has been resolved!
I used the "filter Query" advanced function within the "Get Items" action.

Hi Again @v-yamao-msft
Thank you for this!!
It actually worked as expected but i have also run into another issue. The flow is sending me too many emails regarding the same issue rather than one. I think this is because of the apply to each condition i have put on the condition.
Do you have any advice of how to get around this because i am not sure if i can remove the apply to each loop as i want it to check all the rows on the list for the item status and then send a single email to the manager of all item status
So the flow looks like this;

Thank you for the follow up. I have gone part of the solution but not all.
I was wondering if it were possible to add a code to filter the table to only show specific items rather than the whole list.
It would really help as i am having to rely on the "Apply to reach" condition

If you have the Send Email action within the apply to each section, it will send an email for each iteration.
I think you need the condition for including a row in the HTML table within the apply for each, but move the Send Email to just below, and send that table. Haven't tried it, just my first thought.
Hi @Anonymous
Thanks for the creative suggestion. I'd give it a go because this would go a long way in helping everyone.
Regarding what you said, can you clarify a bit more, i'm feeling slow today.
Are you saying;
Condition ---> Create HTML Table (Apply to Each) ----> Send Email
to want send a single approval email when adding multiple new items and to be approved all in a single mail

Hi Everyone,
I also encountered a similar scenario where I need the output from an 'Appy to each' to be sent as a HTML table in one single email.
I've tried initializing a variable (string and array type) at the top (before apply to each) then for each output in Apply to each I've told to append to the Global Variabe, however this is what I get for my 2 rows ( a@email.com and b@email.com) in apply to each:
When 'Append to String' is used, I get : a@email.comb@email.com
When 'Append to Array' is used, I get : ["a@email.com;b@email.com"]
["a@email.com;b@email.com"]
I've also used set variable in the apply to each,but the outcome is expected,meaning that I get only the last row in my Global Variable , in this case b@email.com
Any suggestions would help
Thank you!
Sorry to necropost, but is this still a valid option? I've been doing just this and the email doesn't conform to HTML. All the tags are visible. The caveat is that in the Send Email action there is no longer an IsHTML option.
Does it matter that my HTML table contains content from a rich text multiline text box in SharePoint?
How is this done now?
Thanks
Hey @lukebrandt1
The Send an email action from the Outlook 365 connector has been deprecated however in the outlook.com connector we can still find the "Send an email" activity , which holds the "Is HTML" boolean field.hope this helps!
Hi all, I'm trying to create a reminder flow that will inform owner based on Calculated date field (Next Review Date). So an action will be entered in a SharePoint list and based on the calculated date field (Review Date + 3 years - 1 day = Next Review Date) it will send the owner an email notification informing him/her that it is due for review. So lets say I have 10 tasks due for me in the list my flow will be sending 10 separate emails for each item. My issue is that I want to compile all these due items all in one email so that I don't have to sift through too many emails and I was wondering if anyone can inform me what I can change in my flow to allow this.
Note : Can't filter Calculated column in filter query so used "compose."
Here is a picture of my flow:
@bhagyashree Were you able to fix your flow? I am trying to do the same thing and users are different emails instead of one email with a list.
Please send me any particular videos.
I have a similar issue and found this alternative solution. I'm still going to try and configure it, but here's the link for anyone with the issue. Solved: Compile multiple list items in one email - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

This Week: All About Subscriptions & Notifications We don't want you to a miss a thing in the Community! The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.) Subscribing to a Category When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe. You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save. Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively. Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe. Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board. Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area. Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu. From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format. You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes. A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
