Hi [mention:2d5cace542ae452882204fceb9f73b45:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

Please go through the Excel Tools plugin. You can read the excel sheet which is in Appian using a function readexcelsheetpaging in the plugin and from there you can index email column as array of strings

if we are getting all the details in the excel sheet, then we can use index function to index the particular column and get the required data and if it is in list of variants, use touniformstring() Function - Appian 23.3 to convert that to list of text
