Attachment are not working in the email

Posted on by 68

Hello everyone, 

 

I am trying to add attachments to my flows. 

Basically, flow is "When item is created" - "Start and wait for approval" - "Send email". 

 

I want to add attachments to action start and wait for approval, so my approvers could see details of request. And then after approving/rejecting I want to send email to requestor and other people involved, as well with attachment. 

 

My attachment is working in action start and wait for approval. 

However, with the final email i see that there is attachment but i cannot open it. 

 

I am attaching the flow. What i am missing to be able to open attachment in final email?

 

thanks!

    Hi @PolaCB 

     

    You need to add object in 'varfiles' variable but not an array so get rid of '[' in the beginning and ']' at the end. The object in array variable will be like:

    {
    "Name": <dynamic file name>,
    "contentBytes": <dynamic file content>

     

    Retest the flow after removing '[' & ']' from 'varfiles' array variable.

     

     

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
