Flow is only adding PDF attachments - need to be able to attach excel and or word.

Posted on by at831408 2

I created a flow in which employees upload documents for review by using microsoft forms. 

The documents are added as attachments in a microsoft list item. On the form I set the parameters as a total of 9 documents can be uploaded at a time and document types that can be uploaded are: 

PDF 

Word 

Excel 

 

when I created my flow PDFS seem to attach fine, however any other document type does not open. 

I am assuming I am needing to fix my JaSON scheme? 

Any suggestions ?

    Hi @at831408 how are you?

     

    @at831408 I understood that you are having issues on save attachments in a SharePoint list item from documents sent using Forms . Is that?

     

    I did a simple using a JSON parser, One Drive Business and SharePoint.

     

    Take a look on it.

    The schema that I added was:

     

    {
        "type": "array",
        "items": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "name": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "link": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "id": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "type": {},
                "size": {
                    "type": "integer"
                },
                "referenceId": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "driveId": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "status": {
                    "type": "integer"
                },
                "uploadSessionUrl": {}
            },
            "required": [
                "name",
                "link",
                "id",
                "type",
                "size",
                "referenceId",
                "driveId",
                "status",
                "uploadSessionUrl"
            ]
        }
    }
     
    Please let me know if this helped on your issue.
