Automatically Email OneDrive File As Attachment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello, 

 

I am currently trying to set up a flow to automatically email an Excel online file as an attachment from my OneDrive at 8 pm every night to 5 email addresses. How would I do this? The file needs to be in my OneDrive not SharePoint.

    AS long as you know the location of the file in OneDrive you can easily create a recurrence triggered flow to send the file out by email to the 5 people each night.

    1. Recurrence Trigger set for 8 PM daily
    2. One Drive Get File action
    3. OneDrive Get File Content action
    4. Outlook Send Email action - Attach the file name from #2 and the content from #3

    Hey, I tried to follow your steps but it is not working once the email comes through, I tried 3 different email clients. myMail app, outlook app and outlook desktop on chrome. 

    it keeps saying the file format is not supported. 

    see images below. What am I doing wrong?

    The one thing I noticed is that you have some whitespace before the file content in the email.  I would remove that and try again.
