Good morning,

I'm developing a power automate flow and have become stuck!

What I want to accomplish is the following

-Master file --> copy and rename so it is new name is -Master file "todays date"--> then delay 24 hours and send -master file "todays date" to certain recipient's as an attachment after it has been edited by the relevant people

I have managed to set up an automatic flow to copy the file and rename it- that part worked well however i am struggling to then send it as an attachment- as I cant find the file yet because it hasn't yet been created in the work flow - is there a work around here or any solutions

I have the same question (0)

Are you using 1 flow or 2 flows?

If you are using 1 flow with a 24 hour delay action, you should be able to use the outputs of the Copy file action as the inputs for the attachments.
