Microsoft Forms to Word Template to Email with Attachments

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi,

I have created a flow that is triggered by the submission of a Microsoft Form, it takes the responses and populates a Word template, creates a file, runs through a loop to gather any attachments submitted by the form intake, appends the attachments (various types of file extensions) and the word document, which is then used to populate the attachment in the email that is sent out. The whole flow works beautifully, with one small glitch. The Word document attaches to the email, but with no file extension, so the user has no idea how to open the document. It will open when the user is prompted to choose how to and picks Word. The other attachments all show there file extensions regardless of being images, Excel, pdf. I am wondering how to make sure that the Word document shows as a Word document?

Here is the flow. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you!

    Be sure to add the file extension to the end of the name when you create the file.

    Hi,

    I tried that. I added .docx to the end of the create file - file name and it still does not work. It actually causes the flow to not proceed after that step.

    Can you provide a screenshot and error message?

    It must have been an end of day kind of error. Now that I am testing it this morning, that worked perfectly! Thank you.
