Dear Community member's my questions is simple and straight forward,
Is there a way I can send .txt file data from Power Apps App to flow and send back as json ?
Hi @chandra1 ,
Yes this will be possible, but how to perform the conversion in Power Automate is probably better asked in the Power Automate community: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Automate/ct-p/MPACommunity
Thanks @BCBuizer for your response,
I can handle from Power automate side decoding and stuff but could you show me example from Power Apps side how I can format attachment value for a SharePoint Attachment item to send to flow.
Appreciate your Response.
This guide describes how to upload a file from PowerApps to a SharePoint library:

Of course in your case the actions in the flow will be different, but you can use the same principle to pass files from PowerApps to Power Automate.
Hi @BCBuizer ,
I have tried Matthew method already, but right exactly when using below format it's sending empty string. there is no data at all for `.txt` file.
as a workaround, have submitted the form to SharePoint list item and triggers flow on form submit then to get attachments actions to get .txt values.
Thanks for your help.
Have a great day to you.
