Hi,

I have created a Microsoft Forms with Upload File attachment and then added the actions of "When a new response is submitted" -> "Get response details"-> "Parse JASON" -> "Get File content using path" -> "Send and email" to include the attachment or as a link in an email. However, I found that if there is no attachment in the Forms, the flow would be failed.

Can I have some advices on how to fix this issue? Is there a condition action that I have to add? Thanks.

Re: Flow failed if no attachment in Microsoft Forms

@ChristianAbata @Anonymous I have similar requirement to create an attachment in ADO when Microsoft Form is submitted. I guess there is no direct attachment option available. Is there any way we could do this. I tried using "Send an HTTP request to Azure Devops" but is throwing an error.I believe the parameters what is provided is wrong. Could you please help me getting the correct logic for attachment.
This is a project requirement and need some quick assistance. Appreciate your support. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bharat

Hi @Anonymous

Can you try:
In your JSON schema, change:
"content": {
"type": [
"number",
"null"
]
},

To:
"content": {
},

Re: Flow failed if no attachment in Microsoft Forms

@ChristianAbataAppreciate your flow guidance. Since I only have one field "Attachments" in the form, can you advise if my flow setting is correct?

And using the schema with empty content
"content": {},
