Looping Through a List Collector to have Catalog Task created by the User Listed in FLOW Designer

[Peter Williams]

Good Day everyone,

i have this list collector in my Service Catalog that will ask users to enter in User names on it.

From this i would like to have my flow designer to collect these people and for each person create a catalog task and assign it to those people

so far i have this and is not working

i am getting the catalog variable from the form and then looking up the record on the user table

but in the for each item it only allows me to select the Get Catalog Variable and not the look up variable

When i test it, the For Each Item shows 0 records.

what can i do?

Per SN, you'll need to "create a custom action that uses a string as the input, parse the string into an array, then outputs the array to be used in the For Loop. "

Here's an example on how to do that

the variables doesnt appear to have been entered into the custom action i created
