Flow Action to separate comma separate string to array

[Supriya39]

Hi All,

I have a column EmailTo which contains comma separated emailids. I want to separate them in to an array of email ids and loop them through for loop.  I tried creating an flow variable and used split string function but it is not taken by for each loop since its of type String. Also tried creating action but errors out.

Hi @Supriya39 ,
Can you please make use of the below script and try it out?

var email_string = inputs.EmailToString.toString();
var temp_array;
if(email_string.length>0)
{
temp_array = email_string.split(',');
gs.info("Array Length "+temp_array.length);
outputs.emailtoarray = temp_array;
}
else
gs.info("Email String doesn't have any value");

Points:

1) There is no need to use new Array(). For simplicity, readability and execution speed, use the array literal method.

2) Corrected Output variable name and shared revised script for your reference.
