I have a simple form that allows a user to enter one or more users into a people picker field. On save an email gets sent that needs to be cc'ed to the users manger/s.
The issue I have is I can use the query user profile action to get the manager, but it only returns the manager for the first person. How do I get the manager for all users in the people picker?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I got this working. For anyone who is interested I did the following steps:
1- Save the people picker field into a string variable
2- Run a Regex action to strip the numbers and ;# from the string
3- Run another Regex to split the remaining string into a collection variable to identify individuals
4- Use a for each action to loop through the collection variable. Inside the loop I did the following:
a- Use a Query LDAP action to get the users username
b- Use a Query user profile action on the username to get the manager. I know I could do this via LDAP, but this gave a cleaner result
c- Check if the manager is already in the list, if not then add to the string variable that contains the managers
