I'm trying to create a Power Automate flow that runs using a button in Power Apps. However, I keep getting an error. I got to the point where I managed to send the email, but the attachments (in this case, several PDFs stored in a SharePoint list) weren't included.

Power Apps → Power Automate → Send Email with Attachments (Quick Setup)

Power Apps

YourFlow.Run(ThisItem.ID)

Power Automate

1. Trigger: Power Apps (V2)

Input: ItemID

2. Get attachments

Id = ItemID

3. Initialize variable

Name: AttachmentsArray

Type: Array

Value: []

4. Apply to each (value from Get attachments)

- Get attachment content

Id = ItemID

File Identifier = Id (from Get attachments)

- Append to array variable:

{

"Name": items('Apply_to_each')?['DisplayName'],

"ContentBytes": body('Get_attachment_content')

}

5. Send an email (V2)

Attachments = AttachmentsArray

Note (Important)

- Works for small number of small files

- Large or many files can fail due to array size/memory limits

- If that happens, use file links instead of attachments

Thank you. Is it possible to send more than one document at a time? In this case, it's more than one PDF document, but none of them are larger than 100 KB. Additionally, in Power Apps, I need to condition the button to date selection since these are daily reports.

you can send more than one attachment as long as overall stream content exceed array limit

Build a array with attachment and consolidate the attachment and send email
