Hi All,

I have a power automate and I have declared an array variable, in this array variable I am appending two attribute from the list result of opportunity entity.


[
"OppUrl":"URL",
"OppID":"Opportunityid"
]

but result is showing like:

[
    "\n[\n\"OppUrl\":\"URL\",\n\"OppID\":\"ID\"\n]\n",
   "\n[\n\"OppUrl\":\"URL\",\n\"OppID\":\"ID\"\n]\n",
     "\n[\n\"OppUrl\":\"URL\",\n\"OppID\":\"ID\"\n]\n",
   "\n[\n\"OppUrl\":\"URL\",\n\"OppID\":\"ID\"\n]\n",
]

I need the result like :

[
{
  "OppUrl": "url",
   "OppID": "123"
},

{
"OppUrl": "url",
   "OppID": "345"
},

{
"OppUrl": "url",
   "OppID": "678"
}

]

How can I achieve the result like above JSON?

There might be a few things wrong here, so I'll start at the beginning. If you want to end up with an array of values from a query in Power Automate, you can do the following.

Trigger your flow however needed (schedule, manual, etc.)

Dataverse - List Rows action

Data Operation - Select

This is where we are going to build up our array of results

From: value(list of items)

Map: Your data fields

At this point, you should be able to then Parse the outputs of the Select operation if you want to do some sort of work on the array or do whatever you need with it. Here is a screenshot of the whole thing.

The outputs from the above flow in my demo environment was as follows.

[ { "Opportunity ID": "9b9ed419-af30-ee11-bdf3-000d3a14bdde", "Opportunity Name": "10 orders of Product SKU JJ202 (sample)" }, { "Opportunity ID": "9d9ed419-af30-ee11-bdf3-000d3a14bdde", "Opportunity Name": "10 orders or Product SKU AX305 this summer (sample)" }, { "Opportunity ID": "9f9ed419-af30-ee11-bdf3-000d3a14bdde", "Opportunity Name": "Some interest in our JJ line of products (sample)" }, { "Opportunity ID": "a19ed419-af30-ee11-bdf3-000d3a14bdde", "Opportunity Name": "Office 365 Services" } ]

A few other random things I noticed in your flow.

the column with schema 'opportuntiyid' is the GUID of the record, like seen in my outputs. You might be looking for some other custom ID used in the system, so you will want to make sure you grab the correct schema name

'Oppurl' is also not a result of the outputs in List Rows for Dataverse that I'm aware of, so if it is a custom field you are missing a prefix or something on the schema name

If you are going to manually build up the array instead of use the Select action, don't put your variables inside quotes. This will cause the flow to take the values as literal strings instead of the merged value

I hope this helps. I think you are close, just a few extra steps throwing you off. If this answer helped, please consider marking as verified.
