Power automate flow to send an email with excel attachment from SharePoint folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by _GBH_ 84

Is it possible to create a PA flow which can send an email from a shared mailbox in Outlook attaching an excel file saved in a SharePoint folder? We have a folder where an excel spreadsheet which is saved to a certain folder within SharePoint daily. We would like to create a flow which sends an email with that file attached at 7pm each working day. Is that possible? If so, could you help with providing the steps please? Thank you

    Hi, this should be possible - is it the same file saved in the folder everyday with the the same name and location? Just an updated copy?

     

    If so, you should be able to set up a flow like the example in this link: 2 Ways to Attach Files to an Email in Power Automate | Power Tech Tips

     

    Essentially -

     

    Scheduled flow 

    |

    Get file content

    |

    Send an email.

     

    If it's a different file each time then that might be slightly more complicated but certainly achievable.

    Hi @JamesDix_n thanks for responding! The file name changes as it has the current days date saved after the generic part of the name..
