Attaching file uploaded in Microsoft Form to Power Automate with Approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I'm new in Power Automate and I'm trying to create a flow where if someone responds in a form with the uploaded file it will be sent for approval to the email.

 

I just followed the tutorial I saw on Google, however, I'm having trouble since I'm getting an error: 

 

"correct to include a valid reference to 'get attachment content' for the input parameters of action 'append_to_array_variable'"

 

Hope you may help me with this.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    The array needs to use "content" and not "ContentBytes".
