Hello,

I made another post in this forum regarding sending selected attachments (see original post: Solved: Flow to send selected documents stored in SharePoint, as attachments, choices in a Form

The flow mostly seems to have worked but when the email is recieved, the attachment has not come through. I wondered if there were any options or actions that I might need to add.

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks!

Hi IV-07011227-0,

pls try the following:

Check the Action Used to Get Files: If using Get Files (Properties Only): Ensure the action retrieves the correct files from SharePoint. Confirm that the file identifiers or paths are being passed correctly to the subsequent steps.

Ensure File Content is Retrieved: Use the Get File Content action after retrieving file metadata. Pass the Identifier dynamic content from the previous step to fetch the actual file content.

Add Attachments Properly: Use the "Attachments" field in the email action and map the fields correctly: Attachment Name: Use the file name (e.g., @{body('Get_file_content')?['Name']}). Attachment Content: Use the file content output (e.g., @{body('Get_file_content')?['$content']}). Attachment Name: dynamic content for file name
Attachment Content: dynamic content for file content

Ensure the total size of attachments does not exceed the limits of your email service: Outlook: 25 MB. Gmail: 25 MB. If attachments are too large, consider zipping them or sending them as download links.

thanks
