Any idea when uploading attachments (Word docs or PDFs) might be available in PVA?

We are creating a bot to help out our Service Desk and in some cases, uploading attachments would be really helpful. Any idea if this is on the roadmap or might be a possibility? I've seen it requested in the PVA uservoice, but not sure if any action is in the works on it. Thanks!

Hi @DS2 ,

Adding more one comment on the @Jcook answer:

It is not possible to do without using a code but you can do it using custom code If you are using your bot within the website, Power Apps Portals, SharePoint or something like that:

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 has provided a github sample that attempts to mimic this capability.
