we have the following "Custom Responses - Wait for all responses" action:-

 

attachment.png

 

where we are attaching a file to the response email >> now the email which will be sent will contain the attachment which is fine >> but the notification which will be shown inside the MS Teams will not contain the attachment...

 

so i have the following 2 questions:-

 

1) how we can attach the attachment to the notification which will be sent to MS Team?

 

2) if point-1 can not be achieved >> then can we prevent the above "Custom Responses - Wait for all responses" from sending notification to MS Teams and only send a normal email?

 

Thanks

    Hello @johnjohn123 

    Unfortunately it's not possible to achieve what you want as you explained. In an adaptive card you can only add a link to a document, but not an attachment (Can we have file attachment within the adaptive card? · Issue #237 · MicrosoftDocs/AdaptiveCards · GitHub). 

    Anyway, I don't think it is a bug in MS Teams, since it has no sense to send a copy of a document to multiple users, instead of sharing a document which is stored in a team.

    Regards.

    @fchopothanks for the reply... but speaking of the recommendation and future-proof  is very easy .. but when you work on a real project with thousands of users you want the features to be completed if not  then we can no use it...

    now as i mentioned i already build the "Custom Responses - Wait for all responses" and i defined what should be included in the Title, Details & Attachment >> and this is working well inside the received emails , where the email will have the attached file and the related Title,Body.. but inside the notification which get sent to Team the notification does not include the attachment, and in our case this is critical... so if we can not attach a file inside the Ms Teams notification... then my question is how i can prevent the ""Custom Responses - Wait for all responses" from sending notifications to the MS Teams >> if we can not prevent this and the notification can not include the attachment then this is a bug inside MS Flow / MS Teams integration !! i am not concern if the Teams is going to be the new hub for approvals >> if the notification does not include the attached file! i hope you understand our case.

    Hello @johnjohn123 

    You can work with Approvals Adaptive Cards in Teams: The Ultimate Guide to Microsoft Teams based approvals (laurakokkarinen.com) So you can customize the fields displayed in the adaptive card in teams, and for example, use a link to the document (I'm not sure it's possible to add an attachment).

    Apart from that, Teams is going to be the new hub for approvals, so you can't avoid that: Approvals in Microsoft Teams, Now Generally Available - Microsoft Tech Community

    Hope it helps!
