Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on the formula you used to create the Collection, I think there is something wrong with it.

The result the DataCardValue4_1.Name formula and DataCardValue4_1.Value formula returns is a Table value rather than a single text value. But within the Attachments property of the Office365.SendEmail() function, the Name property is required to provide a text value.

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

Set the OnSelect property of the "Collect" button to following:

ClearCollect(
 AttachCollect,
 ForAll(
 RenameColumns(DataCardValue9.Attachments,"Name","Name1", "Value", "Value1"),
 {
 Name: Name1,
 ContentBytes: Value1,
 '@odata.type': ""
 }
 )
)

On your side, you should collect your Attachments files into a Collection using the following formula:

ClearCollect( /* <-- Modify your formula here */
 AttachCollect,
 ForAll(
 RenameColumns(DataCardValue4_1.Attachments, "Name", "Name1", "Value", "Value1"),
 {
 Name: Name1,
 ContentBytes: Value1,
 '@odata.type': ""
 }
 )
)

then set the OnSelect property of the "Send Email" button to following:

Office365.SendEmailV2(
 "Test1@xxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com", 
 "PowerApps Test", 
 "PowerApps Test Email",
 {Attachments: AttachCollect}
)

On your side, you should modify your Office 365 SendMail as below:

Office365.SendEmailV2(
 "Your EMail Address", 
 "Subject", 
 "EMail Body",
 {
 Attachments: AttachCollect,
 IsHtml: true,
 Importance: "Normal"
 }
)

The attachment files would be sent well as below:

Please take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
