start a wflow with forms (where I ask people to upload attachments) >>> I want the approver to access the attachment from their e-mail

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I created a multilayer w-flow that starts with people filling a form in Microsoft forms. In one of the questions, people will upload an excel attachment, that will be saved at sharepoint.

This process will be approved by 3 different people, and when I send the approval e-mail, I want people to click on a link at the e-mail and access the file that was uploaded while answering on forms. The closer I can get to it is adding a link to where the file is, but not the file itself. So if I have more than 1 file there, people may get confused. 

 

I have added a step to plot all answers to an excel spreadsheet, and by using text functions, I could get to a link for the specific file, and not the folder. However when I add as a dynamic field, it wont work. Is there any function to convert the value from a cell to a link?

 

thanks a lot!

    Hi @MiNassif,

     

    Have you tried use the Create a Sharing link for a file or folder?

    It could generate a link to make user access to view and edit:

    Then you could insert the link into the Approval request by using markdown.
