Passing drop down and attachments to power automate to compose a message to teams

Posted on by Zidan 4

I am having troubles passing Drop down input to power automate as the format is table while the the flow is expecting data type (text, bolean, array..etc.)

after figuring out how to pass drop down input, I need to find out how to pass the attachments or rich text data type if that makes sense.

    Hi @Zidan ,

     

    Do you want to pass files between the canvas app and flow? If so, you could use JSON action to covert the file to a base64 string and then pass the base64 string to the flow. And then you can parse this file in flow.

     

    I think this link will help you a lot:
