Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi, I have to send an email with an excel attachment that I have in a sharepoint file, How can I get that file if it is not located in a sharepoint list? Or how can I add this file to a sharepoint list?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Assuming you're referring to a Doc Lib, you can either:

    1. Use the "Get file contents" action and generate the attachment to send.
    2. Use the "Create a sharing link for a file or folder" and send it in the email (recommended approach)

     

    If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.

    Hi, @manuelstgomes 

     

    As you recommended, I used the action "Get file contents" and now I have to send an email with that attachment (photo 1) but the result is an email attachment in blank (photo 2).
