Posted on by
Hello, I have created a microsoft form that has questions to upload a PDF in their response. I would like to create a flow with power automate where after the response is submitted, a copy of the PDF is then emailed to one of our users.
 
So far I havent had any luck, I have been able to create a flow that has a link to the one drive where the PDF is, but I would like an actual copy to be sent via email.
 
Any help would be greatly appricated.
 
Thanks
