Include an Attachment when condition is False

Posted on by mthompson

I am experiencing issues with creating a flow that is triggered when item is created in SharePoint. I want to create a condition that includes attachments (if included in the SharePoint list trigger), not all entries will. As of now, I have a field titled company initiated (which is a yes/no field), if true send an email without attachment, if false send an email with attachment.

This is what I am trying to accomplish.

Trigger - When an item is created

Get Attachments

Condition

If Yes (send email without attachment) or If No (send email with attachment)

End

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michelle

Good morning Lin,

I changed the condition to focus on whether the record entered has an attachment or not. What I ended up with works perfectly to meet our needs.

When a record is entered with an attachment, an email is sent to a specific department with the attachment so they can process accordingly. When a record is entered without an attachment a different email is sent to a specific department so they can create the requested document.

Hi @mthompson,

You said the company initiated is Yes/No type, so I guess the issue you met is no matter the value of company initiated is Yes or No, the Flow always goes to No branch, right?

If my guess is right, the workaround is input boolean value true into the condition action instead of Yes. Because Yes/No type column output is boolean, for example:
