Hi,

I have the following issue.

Originally I had a photo functionality built like: User takes a photo in PowerApps ---> Camera1.Photo Image is saved in the gallery ---> After click 'Accept' Gallery Images go to Microsoft Flow and they are being converted from Url to Binary in Flow and then sent to Sharepoint.

It worked fine, but I would like to upload photos from the device as well (by Add Picture functionality built into PowerApps). Everything seems to be alright, but all the process stucks on the error below.

Long story short: Why my Photos made in PowerApps can be converted and sent to SharePoint, and photos uploaded to PowerApps from the device can't?

Thank you,

@pal95 , you can convert the images taken from device to include binary data in Power Apps using JSON function in Power Apps. Check below formula to save an image in JSON binary format to a variable:

Set(JSONImageSample, JSON(Images, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));

Then you can pass it to your flow like:

MyFlow.Run(JSONImageSample)

Check this documentation for detailed information: Getting pics to SharePoint from PowerApps is getting easier.

If you want to do it using Power Automate only then check this:
