Hi @Anonymous

Where are you fetching the attachment? You can add the information (Attachment Name and Attachment Content) in the send email section.

Can you please share the Power Automate and obfuscate anything private that you can't share so that I can have a better understanding of what you're trying to do and the issues.

Cheers
Manuel

Hi Manuel,

I would like to determine how to include either an image or file attachment like a .pdf for example to the recurring email. I get the idea that the file can not be pulled from a local users account.
Does it need to be hosted via Onedrive/Sharepoint perhaps?
If so what is the proper way to point to the attachment?

Hi @Anonymous

If you only want to input a file and not several files, then you can simply ‘switch to detail inputs for array item’:
And you will need another step before ‘Send an email’ to get attachment content. There are two methods:

Method 1--
You can pull a file from the local user account, but it’s quite troublesome because you will need to install an on-premises data gateway using your own email account to connect to files in your local computer.
Here is the procedure of how to install the gateway (ps. Please make sure you use the same email account registering the gateway as that of your connection in Power Automate. And also please make sure the region of your gateway is equal to that of your Power Automate environment):

After installing the gateway, you could use ‘Get file content’ in ‘File system’ connector:
And you will need to create a new connection for ‘File system’ connector using the gateway you have installed.

Method 2—
It’s more convenient to get file from sharepoint or onedrive:
