Attaching uploaded Dataverse image into Power Automate Email

Posted on by sygc601

I've found ways to attach images from SharePoint image and file column types but I'm having a difficult time trying to get uploaded images from a dataverse table to include it in a Send Email (v2) action within power automate.

My flow actions

Trigger: when a row is modified

Convert to base64

Send Email

I've tried adding a download image action and then try composing it into as a dataURI and couldn't get it working. What is the best way of doing this? I've tried researching on the forum and there are no straight forward answers.

HI

Here is a sample and ill explain

1. I created a table and added an image field

2. I created this flow

3. I created a sharepoint document library and added a single image (jpg)

The Flow does this

1. I read the FileContent from the image jpg I created in my SharePoint Library

2. I create a dataverse row (without the image)

3. I use the Upload file or image action to add the image from step 1, into the row I created in step 2

4. I immediately add the Download file or Image Action to Read the content back out

FYI don't convert to Base64, use the Download file or Image action in to get the content

5., Send your Image with the attachment Content coming from the Download file or image action

6. Use the column for the name or just type something in (like i did cause im lazy)

see below for opened actions And see image of my email where you can see my attachment :-) showing it easy

Now from my Email

For more context:

My users are working off a canvas app writing to a dataverse table (image column type). Once the user submits a photo, it triggers a flow to send out a notification. The end goal is to either attach the photo as an attachment or embed the photo directly with an img tag in the email body.

I've tried the download action and added it to the attachment field in the send to email. It inlcuded an attachment didn't come out as an image.

I will revise and test my flow later today.
