Hi @ankjain30 ,

Is there any pending thing?

You can use the Bot Framework to do it.
While Microsoft provides better in-app support for this, you can do the following,

Deploy a custom web-canvas (see documentation) that supports attaching images / files
Upload the image / file to your own Azure Blob storage
Send the URL as a message activity (response to a question node) so that it gets assigned to a variable
Use that URL in Flow / Skills to achieve your desired outcome
Microsoft provided a github sample that attempts to mimic this capability.

Using only Power Virtual Agents, you can vote here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Attach-file-to-Power-Virtual-Agents/idi-p/46170...

Hi Renato, is there any feature on PVA that allow the bot to respond with an 'UPLOAD FILE' button? Because i need people from my org to upload their file to the bot specifically (like ms form).

Currently this is only supported with a custom canvas (see @renatoromao 's response above)
