Multiple lines of text field to see all entries in an flow email

[jannet]

Hello!

I have a field called Comment that is a multiple line text and I have append changes to existing text turn on. I am trying to build a flow where it will send an email to show all the entries under the comment field and also when a new comment is posted against the request. 

Thanks,

Jannet

comment in mail my friend @jannet ? or sharepoint list? could you share us an screanshot?

@ChristianAbata 

The comment field (which is multiple lines of text type) is in SharePoint list

This is the setting for the Comment field.

On the SharePoint list, it will show all the entries against a request.  I want to set up a flow where it would send out an email shows all those entries/comments.

shure @jannet  please follow this example

replace ID for your column coments name

@ChristianAbata 

The flow isnt working. What should be returned when the email is sent?

@jannet  to update a row then you can use create new item at the end of your actually flow you are going to receive an email with all coments line

Hi @jannet,

If you want to get all versions of the comments, you should use the Send HTTP request to SharePoint to get the modified/created item's all versions, then structure a variable to store the comments' properties, such as editor name, edit time, comments details, etc.

Then use the Create HTML table action to create an HTML table so that it could be inserted in the Email body.

These are expression I used in the Flow:

body('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')['d']['results']

item()['Comments']

item()?['Editor']['LookupValue']

Run result:

Hi @jannet,

Please notice that there is item ID, not the comments from the item:

Hi @jannet 

Thanks for the screen share. Here are the details

If you want to append the comments then declare a variable after the trigger. Then use actions step append to string to append the comments.

Also you asked about the Editor. Editor values are returned as JSON. Again add anther Parse JSON to extract the values.

Thanks

@v-litu-msft Hey there, this i working for me now one more Question; how can i get the Time when the Comment was written into the Table? is it possible when yes how?
"item()?['Last_x005f_x0020_x005f_Modified']['LookupValue'] or with ['Modified'] are resulting in "['LookupValue'] can´t be processed...

Thanks for help,

This is how I solved it at my place:

we need two compose (German "Verfassen") steps

fx:  replace(outputs('Verfassen_5'),decodeUriComponent('%0A'), '<br />')

That's it
