Hello,
I'm trying to insert a string into a json body http request, but quotations marks stop me from creating a valid request.
I'm creating a string with email from an Azure AD group, with that syntax :
{"email":"email1"}, >> repeated for each user in the group
but when i'm inserting this string into my body, it turns out like this :
Solved! Go to Solution.
Not sure we are understanding each other
I thought you were already getting target emails, and you just have a format problem injecting thte info in your json. Actually, whare are you getting email address from the screenshots you initially shared? Not from Azure AD connector?
Now, I do not have experience working with Azure AD connector, but according to its official documentation:
-Get group members action block response is an array of Get user response
-Get user response includes a property called Mail and tons of other Properties
Assuming this, if you iterate in your 'Apply to Each' through 'Get group members response', you should be able to inyect Mail related info to the array you are building by means of:
setProperty(json('{}'),'email',item()?['Mail'])
I haven't used this connector in my life, so if this last suggestion from my side makes the magic, it means both of us are incredibly lucky
Hope this helps
Hello and thanks for the answer, i've switch Flow in english for the screenshots :
- groupMember1 is a String initialize nothing.
This string contains every email of the members of a specific AD Group which looks like this
(Append to a string variable)
i'm then creating another variable called groupMemberOK (still a string) which is groupMember1 less the last coma (not needed in the json api), value of this groupMemberOK :
Should I've been using array instead of a string? in that case, how do you remove the last char of an array? substring won't work I suppose
The API i'm calling just require a JSON Body (Adobe Sign) ; I need my API to look like this
"memberInfos": [
{
"email": "perso@antoine-tal.com"
},
{
"email": "anothermail@antoine-tal.com"
}
],
With what i'm currently doing, the strings turns into :
I'm not sure where you suggested I tried the json() expression, however I tried to insert a dynamic content into my http request's json body with >> json(variables('groupMemberOK')) and it indeed works but I only got the first mail, other don't appear.
I tried to be as clear as possible but don't hesitate if I wasn't clear enough in some parts
Thanks again !
Hello and thanks for the answer,
I'll try to be as clear as possible but if some part are still cloudy don't hesitate.
I have a string variable called groupMember1
I'm getting with an Azure AD connectors every mail's user of a specific group AD (group test so seeing the ID doesn't matter)
I then with an apply to each, insert in my variable the "setup" that I want in my http call.
As you can see I add a coma at the end, in case their is multiple account in the AD group. However the json body for the http request dont want a coma at the end, therefore I remove it and insert the result in a string variable called groupMemberOK
The content is then something like that :
I then add this variable to my json body
On this screen I tried to insert my variable with the expression json(variables('groupMemberOK')) ; while it was in the good format, it only gave me the first mail and not the second.
And if I insert in the body directly the string expression, it turns out like this :
I just want my json body to be like this
"memberInfos": [
{
"email": "first@mail.com"
},
{
"email": "second@mail.com"
}
],
Should i've been using array instead of string? if so how do you remove the last char of en array (the coma) ?
Thanks again
No worries ! Again thanks for the taking the time.
I understand what you're trying to do, however how can I get the mail of the azure AD group?
In the apply to each, when trying to append to the array variable, I only see body & member on the Azure AD Dynamics Content.
I tried with this 2, body returns everything, and with Group Members I tried
setProperty(json('{}'),'email',body('Obtenir_les_membres_du_groupe')?['email'])
(and same with mail instead of email)
but it returns "email = null"
I guess there is a way to limit the body in only returning the wanted mail?

Hi again!
I thought you were already getting email addresses...
So next question is... Are you currently using Azure Active directory API or Microsoft Graph?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-graph-api
My bad then! I'm using the "Azure AD" connector directly integrad in flow.
Which allow me to later insert in a string the email I need
Hello!
When I invoke group members, I indeed want to read 'Group Members Mail' but, if using Dynamic content in an empty variable, I have everything as seen here :
But when I insert as an expression
setProperty(json('{}'),'email',<insert here>)
I'm only getting 2 outputs, as seen here :

In the screenshot, those emails came from a String where I inserted mail from azure ad group in the 'Apply to each'... again, not sure how clear this was haha
But but but ! Your solutions works!
Indeed setProperty(json('{}'),'email',item()?['Mail'])works perfectly well, I just had to remove the [] from my json body but that's no problem.
For information, this looks like the image below.
So in resume, how it works :
- Getting group members by Azure Connectors with the group ID
- Apply to each through those group members, and append to an array variable : setProperty(json('{}'),'email',item()?['Mail'])- Compose this array variable
- Insert in the http request the Compose
And woof, it's works !
I can't thanks you enough for taking so much time @efialttes, sorry we didn't understood each other right away ! 😁
Well you already thanked me enough, since you marked my last answer as a valid solution and also clicked the 'Thumb up' icon in each of my answers. Thanks for your kindness!
Glad to help! Au revoir!
