I have a collection of strings and I want to make a sentence to make sense when sending an email.

Hi @ilyak 

Where are you stuck at and what have you tried?

 

  1. Are you able to use LOOPS to extract each item from the collection?
    Collection1 = [“one”, “two”, “three”, ”four”, “five”]
    tmpStr => get item from collection
  2. Are you able to concatenate strings and variables?
    Msg1 Msg1 tmpStr 

 

Then you should be able to create the following string Msg1.

one two three four five

Hi @ilyak,

The easiest way to achieve this solution is to use the Join items in collection action.

@SimonMuntz -- nice running into you! Of course, you do not remember me, and I don’t expect you to :) Thanks. That tip about using join collection helped...A LOT!!!
