Creating a flow that retrieves multiple email addresses and send an email to each.

[cgrimes]

I have two lists, one is a registry and the other is a category control list. When a new item is created, it is evaluated as go/no go based on the inputs. Each item is required to use a value from the category control list. This link is a general category title. The category control list has a column with a group of people that need to be notified when a project is a "go".  

I cannot seem to create a flow that will collect the emails addresses of each of these people and submit an email to them.

right now, they are all in one column, with multiple accounts selected. would it be better to have each in separate columns? Each person has a different role.

Can someone tell me how to do this? I want to be able to control the contact list separately. I would like an Office 365 (2016) solution.

Hi @cgrimes,

Did you mean that each item of this list has multiple email address in one column? If this is the situation, then I'm afraid that this cannot be done so far in flow. If I misunderstood your issue, please feel free to reply and tell.

Yes, but I can change that.

How do I get the lookup to work for just one? I want one list to find the right email in another list depending on the category selected in the current item.

Hi @cgrimes,

It seems that Flow cannot get the data of another column using the lookup relationship between SharePoint lists.

The only dynamic contents I could get are all the columns from List_Test.

You could post this idea in the Flow Ideas forum, so it might be considered for future releases.

I was able to do it by having the look-up column bring with it the ID of the othe list being used.

I then used a "Compose"action to pull the Id #

@Int(triggerBody()?['Product_x0020_Specific_x0020_Min#Id'])

with the ID number as an Int,  I was able to use "Get Item" to pull the relivent emails from the catagory list.
