Hey,

I'm looking for a way to automate an email to be sent every day to the same recipient that has the same attachment. The attachment will stay in the same folder on my computer but is updated every day. Is there a way to do this with Power Automate or do I need to keep searching for third party software?

Yes there is. If you can place the file on a OneDrive folder and use the when the file is modified trigger to send an email to that user.

I suggest using a recurrence trigger set to fire once a day. You can store you document in OneDrive or a SharePoint library ( as well as other locations if you have a premium license).

Your Flow should look something like this is you use OneDrive:

Thanks for the solution @ScottShearer — however, when opening the attachment that comes from the automated email send, the file appears to be corrupted.

I'm essentially trying to send out a spreadsheet every day, at the same time. Although I followed your instructions, I get a corrupted spreadsheet every time.

Funny enough, when sending the exact same spreadsheet with Power Automate to Dropbox, it works perfectly well.

I also tried XLS and XLSX file extensions to no avail.
