Recipient e-mail in send mail fails

I have a send mail action us to send mail to a database query

I can get the mail to send to a recipient if i statically type in the e-mail address but whenI connect the e-mail address using the data link it fails. I can put the same data in the “To Name” field and it populates the data fine?

Why does the same data that appears in the To Name fail when I put it in the ToEmail field

Interesting. I am getting the same thing and thought maybe it was a problem with the mail server. But now I’m not sure.

my step uses a repeat and I have another with a repeat that works fine. The difference is that the other says $parent.$name in the To Name and $parent.Email in the To Email which is not something I remember entering and not something I can duplicate using the field picker

We do not use $parent any more, try repicking the right variables

$parent code in the existing stuff is working and it breaks when I pick the correct one

so i tried. any other suggestions?
