Flow & Loop

[imknight]

How do you create a flow that can loop action for all the return records?
for example, I pull all users who have the status "progress" how do I loop through these users to send them emails each?

If you pass the array of results to a new Flow using the "trigger flow" operation it should loop over the array and trigger the second flow once for each item

Giving an example is tricky without knowing something about the datastructure you're working with. However the trick generally is to only pass the array to the "trigger flow" operator.
Lets say you have a context object of:

{
  "$last": {
    "thisIsAnArray": [
      { "item": 1 },
      { "item": 2 },
      { "item": 3 },
    ]
  }
}

Then passing {{ $last.thisIsAnArray }}

yup working, just need to ensure the payload that trigger is array will do

For me it is somehow not working. My structure is like:

{
  "$last": {
	"data": [
		{
		  "title": "someTitle",
		  "date": "someDate",
		  "description": "Some description"
		},
		{
		  "title": "someOtherTitle",
		  "date": "someOtherDate",
		  "description": "Some other description"
		}
	]
  }
}

Inside the Trigger Flow operation I then pass the following as payload:

[
    "{{ $last.data }}"
]

I also tried

{{ $last.data }}

but neither of them works. The called flow is only executed once but not $last.data.length times. What am I doing wrong?
Or is it related to how I handle the payload in the called flow?
Thank you in advance!

Sorry for my delayed feedback and thanks @br41nslug for your quick reply.

Then passing {{ $last.thisIsAnArray }}

The exact syntax for the Payload-Field was our main problem, which seems to be same for @eidermaen

We got it working like so:

In our case, the $last contains data we Read first:

So, I guess for you @eidermaen the syntax is "{{$last.data}}" supposed, data is an array

[eidermaen]

Thank's a lot @david-zacharias! That did the trick! So I had to edit the payload as raw value and entered "{{ $last.data }}". This way the triggered flow was executed $last.data.length times ;)

Hi, i have almost the same problem, i have a string value and i need to transform it to an int,i gotthe values with read data, and i want to pass it to updatedata one by one, is it possible within the same flow ?
