Get File Content

Posted on by CobraBitYou

How would I make a Flow that uses Get file content to essentially copy and paste the text from a .txt file into an email (using Send an email V2)? I do not want to embed it like a photo. My goal is to have the text in the .txt file be formatted in the outlook email using html - if the text can essentially be copied and pasted into the email.

Here is what I have so far, but the text from the document does not show up:

Add a compose action after the Get file content. Here you can capture the file content. Then map the output of the compose in your email.

Here are the steps I followed:

Thank you! That worked perfectly. Now my flow finds the .txt file in a specific folder, get the contents of it, adds the contents to the html formatting in an email, and sends the email. Much appreciated!
