Hi,

I have a MS Form that has 2 questions with the option to add back up documents.

Below is the current test flow that works to the point of try to attach the documents that are in two difference sources:

1) One Drive -Files

2) Share Point - Attachments

When I add both Files an Attachments into the Attachments field I get the following error:

Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'emailMessage' validation failed in workflow operation 'Send_an_email_(V2)': The parameter with value '"@{variables('Attachments')}@{variables('files')}"' in path 'emailMessage/Attachments' with type/format 'String' is not convertible to type/format 'Array'.'.

Send multiple attachments from multiple forms questions

Hello and Hope this helps. I am running into a issue with this also. I have it working on one flow but my when I repeat steps on another flow I am gettting a error.

Looking at what you supplied here are my suggestions. Make sure that both the Attachments and files are array and not string. Then I would create a new array and combine both attachment and Files together.as one array then you should be able to pass that array in the email attachments.
