Hi,

 

I have a requirement to pass notes attached in model driven app to approval workflow as an attachment or link to view the attachment(notes) to approve from outlook.

    Hi @nani5swamy ,

     

    The link to the attachment contained in notes cannot be obtained through Get record action.

    Currently, Approval action can only add links, and we cannot add attachments.

    • You could store attachments in SharePoint or OneDrive first.
    • Then generate a sharing link and add it to the Approval email.
    • We need to use base64ToBinary() function to transcode content when configuring File Content.

    Expression reference:

     

    base64ToBinary(body('Get_record')?['documentbody'])

    Or you could use Send an email with options action to create an approval, and then send the files in Notes as attachment.

    You also need to use base64ToBinary() function to transcode content when configuring Attachment content.

    Hope it helps.

     

    Best Regards,
