Hi all,

has anyone ever tried to get the attachment and open the "word document" from
"cloud" and not like READ ONLY. Currently I am having this issue and it is that when I try to obtain the link of the attachment attached to the mail from the flow, I obtain the link of the document but in Read Only mode I do not obtain the same link as like if I opened it from the item. Any suggestion?

Thank you!

Hi @SOL24

Do you mean you want to open the word doc using the link, and download a local copy, so you can modify it?

Could explain in more detail what do you need?

I don't want any local copy downloaded. If you notice, when you open an item attachment, a link opens to the attachment from the cloud and you can save your changes and they stay in the cloud! What happens is that when I get the "absoluteURI" in power automate and add it to a variable to get the link, it works but it opens the document in READ ONLY, not in a cloud!

Hi @SOL24

When you say "in the cloud" do you mean by opening the word document in Word Online?

Sorry, but I don't really get your point.

From where are you opening the link? Email in Outlook? Teams?

I ask this because it depends on the app you're clicking the link!

Does Outlook have restrictions on opening sitelinks? Should I go to some setting on the list for this?
