Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I created a Power App form linked to a sharepoint list. I would like to create an approval flow by email which allow the approver to approve or reject the Attachment file. 

 

When I submit my form , the attachment file appear on Sharepoint but not in the approval email.

A problem appear when I run the formula on PowerAPP : flowRun(Form.Lastsubmit.Attachments) they told me that it's a table and it has to be a text. 

 

Thanks for your help.

    Hi, 

     

    Thanks for your answer. 

     

    But I really have to start from my Power Apps because the users will upload the files on the powerapps and after the approval by mail the files will be uploaded on the SharePoint. 

     

    I saw that it was possible to do it with this formula but I don't really know how to use it : base64tobinary

    Hi @User26,

    Do you want to create an approval to attach files within the Email?

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

     

    Actually, I don't think you need this Power Apps trigger since you submit form to save record to SP list. You just need to use the When an item is created or modified.

     

    Here I made a simple test for you, please take a try as below:

    Get attachment content and append them to array.

    The following is the complete configuration of the flow.

    Here is the test result.

    Hi @User26
