Email a recently created Word doc using PowerAutomate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi - I'm new to PowerAutomate so hopefully this is an easy question. I've created a form using MS Forms - this form auto populates a Word doc (legal contract) and saves to a OneDrive with the filename set as <customer name> _contract.docx (with the customer name coming from the Form entry.
So far all okay, but I also want to have the ability to automatically email this newly created document to several people (the customer, and also our legal team). I know the correct way should be having one doc on a central share, but our requirement is we email the document out.

In Powerautomate I have all the steps to create the Word doc, and I've added a step of "Send an Email", but I'm stuck at how I refer to the recently created Word doc.

Any help appreciated!

    Hello @cotswoldmark 

    Do you want to send the document attached to the email, or a link to it? Could you share a screenshot of your flow?

    Regards,

    Hi Ferran - I managed to work this out (trial and error) using the Get File Content, and then referring to the File ID in the Send an Email connector
