Parse Json returns file string attached to email, not file itself

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

I am building a Flow that will send an email to users who have completed a Form, with their uploaded docs attached to the email.  I have a Flow that is working, but on the email that the user receives, the only attachment is a .docx file with a string for the uploaded docs - not the docs themselves.  The docs are uploaded on a Group Form, and there may be more than one document uploaded, so I am using an array.  My flow is working at the "append to array" variable (finally), but what gets appended is a Word doc with the file strings, not the actual files themselves.  The uploaded documents are stored on Sharepoint so that's where I'm retrieving them from.

I've looked at a bunch of Q&A on this but they all seem a little bit different - either retrieving from OneDrive or not using an array, etc., so they don't quite align. I would appreciate any assistance!  Thank you.

    Hi @Pcsmith ,

     

    By entering the content in the attachment section, we can see that the format of the attachment is like this.

    Please modify your flow like this.
