Flow Support - Attachment not found

Posted on by Wez1 37

Hello

 

Can anyone help with this please?  I keep getting an error 'Attachment not found'

 

File is Copy & Pasting from one excel sheet to another

Clicking on a particular tab

Sending an email 

Going back to the Old tab

Then closing excel

 

It sends out fine without the attachment

    So, 1) is the workbook saved before you try to send the email?

     

    2) is the attachment in the "Send email" action the same as you have saved the new workbook?

    Hello

     

    1) The workbook closes & saves right at the end , after I try to send the email

    2) Yes, in the "Send email through outlook" action

    Yeah, so I think you just need to save that file before you try to send the attachment.  This is what I am hearing and seeing from your flow:

    Open Old Workbook
    Copy data
    Create New Workbook
    Paste data in New Workbook
    Send Email
    Save New Workbook

    Well, if you haven't saved the new workbook, then the new workbook doesn't exist as a file, so it can't be attached.  Save the workbook, then send the email...let me know if you still have a problem.

     

    Good luck!
