Manually trigger sending file as email attachment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I'm trying to set up a flow that sends specific files to a specific person from a sharepoint folder with a manual trigger. My flow is as follows:

Manually trigger a flow --> Get file content using path --> Get my profile (V2) --> Send an Email (V2) (from - Email) (Attachment 1 content - File Content)

 

It sends something but the file is not openable and is only 19kb (it should be larger). I watched someone on youtube do almost exactly the same thing but with a different trigger, so I don't know what's going wrong. Please help!

 

Also I tried to add Get file (properties only) so I could include the name of the attachment and that caused it to add a for each loop that sent every file in the folder as a separate email attachment (also couldn't open these files) but one thing at a time.

    @JahanVafaeezad ,

    That's strange ... The extension (from attachment name in  send email action) of the attach is similar to the one from sharepoint ?

    I am trying to send a word document (docx) and the extension of the attachment is .file

    If you are sending a docx file then the extension should be the same. Just give it a try with a hardcoded name as attachment name with extension .docx
