Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi Team,

I am looking for an option to ask for an image from the user, store it into a variable and in the SharePoint list using Power Virtual Agent. I tried searching for this option but couldn't get any help! Request your help in building this option

Hi @Sujeet1 ,

By default, using a PVA bot is possible to ask for an image from the user using a custom code.

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

If you want to use a no-code experience, it's not available yet, you need to vote on my idea here: Attach file to Power Virtual Agents - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
