Power automate - Check if there is an image in dataverse image column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Salem 187

I am working on a simple flow to send an email when a record is created in dataverse.

One of the columns is an image column, that is added as an attachment to the email.

It works well when there is an image (it is optional), but there is an error when there is no image.

 

Here is how I get the image.

How to check if an image exists? or to avoid the "attachment can not be blank" error?

 

Thanks!

    @Salem  You can use something like below in your condition step.

    empty(outputs(‘Add_new_row')?[‘<your column name>']). If it returns true then it's empty else it has value.

    That worked well, thanks!

     

    One more question, is checking for an attachment and have 2 send email steps a good practice or there is more efficient way?

    Here is how I have it:

    @Salem It's a best practice and recommended way to find the issue before hand to get rid of runtime issues.
