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 @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.
Hi @chandra1 ,
This guide describes how to upload a file from PowerApps to a SharePoint library:
https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-apps-easiest-way-to-upload-files-to-a-sharepoint-document-library/#:~:text=upload%20a%20document.-,Connect%20The%20'Upload%20To%20SharePoint'%20Flow%20In%20Power%20Apps,connection%20in%20the%20data%20tab.
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.
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.
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
