Posted on by KW-04121632-0

Hello,

I have a an image column in my SharePoint list that may or may not have a photo uploaded to it.

I want to create a conditional statement in a flow to check if it has an image file and if not, send an email to remind the user to upload an image.

The "Image File" column does not show up as dynamic content. Is there another way to check if it has an image or not?

Thanks!

@KW-04121632-0,

For Power Apps

Using the function IsBlank() you can determine for (e.g.,)

Button (Validation)

If(IsBlank(Column.Image),DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

For Power Automate

empty(outputs('Get_item')?['body/ImageColumnName'])

Hello @KW-04121632-0

SharePoint Image column does not appear in the standard Get item or Get items actions in Power Automate because the default connector does not directly return the image content or a usable URL.

The image data is stored as complex metadata (internally a “Thumbnail” type), so it requires a direct API call to retrieve the actual file path or details.

Because of that, we need to use Send an HTTP request to SharePoint to properly access the image column data.

https://torbenp.com/2022/07/get-sharepoint-list-image-in-power-automate/

Condition:

empty(outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')?['body'])

Equal to true

@Kalathiya

What if I went in a different direction and just tried to see if any of the attachments were .jpeg files? In case someone wants to upload multiple images?
