Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

All,

There are a number of other questions similar to this out there and I have read through a couple dozen trying to achieve my goal.

In my app I have a section with generated emails that are sent out requesting quotes from vendors.
I would like to have the BoM attached to the emails as they are sent out.

Each of the BoMs live on our SharePoint site and will always have the same name so the location/file name can be hard coded.
My email form is based on the default email template.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

/*Create semicolon separated list of people to email, send the email, reset subject & message fields*/ 
Set(
 _emailRecipientString,
 Concat(
 MyPeople,
 Mail & ";"
 )
);
Office365Outlook.SendEmail(
 _emailRecipientString,
 vSANIGNetworkEmailSubjectTextEmailSubject_1.Text,
 vSANIGNetworkEmailBodyTextEmailMessage_1.Text,
 {Importance: "Normal"}
);
Reset(vSANIGNetworkEmailSubjectTextEmailSubject_1);
Reset(vSANIGNetworkEmailBodyTextEmailMessage_1);
Clear(MyPeople)

I understand that I would need to use the following formatting;

Office365.SendEmail(inputTo.Text, inputSubject.Text, inputBody.Text, {Attachments:Table({Name:"file1.jpg", ContentBytes:Camera1.Photo, '@odata.type':""})})

What I don't understand is how do I point to a specific location within SharePoint for the attachment.

I assume it has something to do with {Name:"file1.jpg", ContentBytes:Camera1.Photo, '@odata.type':""} however I have no clue how to make this work.

Thank you in advance.

Building Power Apps

Hi @Titortian ,

Where do you store your BoM files? SP Library or attached as attachments of SP List Item?

If these BoM files stored in your SP Library, and you want to attached them within the email body in your app, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

Currently, within PowerApps, there is no way or functions supported to get the file content of the files stored in a SP Library. As an alternative solution, I think the combination of PowerApps and MS Flow could achieve your needs.

On your side, you could consider fire a flow from your app, then pass the _emailRecipientString value, vSANIGNetworkEmailSubjectTextEmailSubject_1.Text value, ... to the flow. Then within your flow, send an email based on the passed parameter values from your app. Within your flow, you could consider add a "Get file content" action of SharePoint connector to get file content of the specific BoM file from your SP Library.

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Flow's configuration as below:
