    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.

    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.

    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.
