Hi all,

I need to pass a simple file from Power Apps to Power Automate, to send it in an email (for using a special sender account)

I have, the form (linked to dataverse table)

I have the call to the flow, the last parameters is the file attached (name and contentbytes)

InventoryMailRFQ.Run(
        varRFOItem.RFQID,
        varRFOItem.RFQNumber,    
        varVendor,
        LookUp(Inventory_RequestForQuote_Types, Name= DataCardValue107.Selected.Name).Vendor.Email,    
        "NO_REFERENCE" , 
        If(!IsBlank(frmRFQ.LastSubmit.CommentsVendor), frmRFQ.LastSubmit.CommentsVendor, " "  ),
{
    name: First(DataCardValue255.Attachments).Name,
    contentBytes: First(DataCardValue255.Attachments).Value
}
 );
 
And the flow:
 
 
How I get errors when I try to complete the Attachments section of the email, I just try to send the name of the file, and this value is empty:
 
triggerBody()?['file']?['name']
 
I did not save the form before trigger the flow.
If I test manually the flow, the name of the file works.
 
Any idea about it?
Thanks in advance.

HI @EmilioRoqueta69

Make sure to pass it like this

file: {
contentBytes: Value,
name: Name
}

it has to be passed as a json structure

If this answers your question please Mark as such and maybe a like :-)

Cheers
