Returning Collection From PowerAutomate Including File Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 42

Hi,

I have a Task Management App where the user can create a task and add documents which then stores the documents in SharePoint Library. 

I have done this using a collection and passing it through PowerAutomate to add the files into the Document Library as well as updating file properties this part works without any problems. 

 

The users must be able to at a later date be able to add additional documents. So again I am using Power Automate which I pass the collection through from PowerApps to Power Automate, I also have 3 fields that I pass through with it.

 

I can pass the data through fine but I'm struggling to find a way to pass the file content back through to the app. I am using select to grab the data put I can't get the file content from the 'Get Files' action which is what the 'Select' action is using, I can't use the get file content action as it isn't part of the 'Get Files' action...

Can anyone help or suggest a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do?
