Send email to array of users

Question

I have a user picker that selects max 3 users. In the process model I want to send the email to all the users in the array of users.

Can you share what you've already tried and what difficulty you're having? In general (assuming a valid array of users with valid email addresses) this is usually pretty straight forward, IIRC, because you can just target your user array in the "to:" field of the Send Email node.

Hi, 
 As Mike mentioned it is straight forward implementation. In your process add a process variable of type user (It should be Array type). Then save your selected picker field values/users to this process variable. In your email node call this process variable in TO field using expression editor.

If pv!reportRequest.reviewer is user type, I don't think you even need to wrap it in toEmailAddress() . That function seems to only be needed when you want to target plaintext email addresses as recipients. In fact it might be hurting you here, because if you wrap an array of user in this function, it might accidentally be trying to treat their usernames as email addresses, which would definitely not work . But again I'm not sure since you haven't actually said what's working / not working.

 well, that means your problem isn't in the send email node, for one thing. As Naresh already said, please share the expression code where you're attempting to set the value of pv!selectedUsers so we can help troubleshoot. To confirm, are you saying that PV is ending up blank? Or some other issue? Can you confirm what type it is? As in, is it "User" type with "multiple" selected?

That's what i thought - so in order to make your script task work, you'll need to parse through the text representing a list of usernames (i assume the text field is not an array). 
 In your script task try putting this instead of "pv!reportRequest.reviewer": 
 trim(split(pv!reportRequest.reviewer, ";"))
