I am storing comments of five workflows in one list. How can I collect all the comments with a look-up function and return them in a Mail Notification?

Hi there!

I have five Workflows. Every Workflow stores a "comment" in a SharePoint List.

How can I send these comments (1 to 5 ) in a Mail Notification?

Do they all store to the same field?

Hi Cassy,

I can configurate that however it would be better. I can store them in the same field and then they will be overwritten, but at the end I Need all comments from all five Workflows (5 different persons) to appear in the last notification mail that is send out by the last WF. I guess it is better to store the comments in 5 different fields?

Could you elaborate the process a bit more?  These 5 workflows, are they site workflows or list workflows?  If a list workflow are they running on the same item?

Have you tried using the build string action to concatenate the five different fields?

if you have it as five fields you can simply add them to the notification using "insert reference" and choosing the item properties for all five fields?

I think this could be a good way.
