Posted on by Jace

I have a workflow that I would like to kick off when an item is created. After, I would like to collect all attachments linked to this list item so that I can call out the list of attachments in an email. I am getting stuck with Power Automate stating the following:

Error
Action 'Get_attachments' failed

Error Details
Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

I have a pretty simple start:

When I look at the results, the get item action states there is an attachment

But the get attachments action says otherwise:

Any help to get this part of the process working would be greatly appreciated.

Although the trigger in the demo flow is different, this is how I was able to extract the list item attachment and email it:
Note that this demo flow sends one email per attachment. If you want to send only one email, you will need to use an array and append all the attachments to this array inside the Apply to each loop, then attach the array to the email.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I was able to walk through your steps and get my workflow running properly. And thanks for the advice on using an array to append all the attachments to one email. That will help a lot.
