Help Needed: Automating Welcome Email for Newly Created O365 Users with Attachments and Draft

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ST-26110450-0

Hello Power Automate Community,

I'm trying to automate the process of sending a welcome email to newly created Office 365 users. I would like the following to happen:

  1. Trigger: When a new user is created in Azure AD (Office 365).
  2. Action:
    • Send a welcome email to the new user with a custom subject and body.
    • Attach some pre-prepared documents (such as onboarding documents, policies, etc.).
    • Optionally, create a draft email instead of sending it immediately, which can be edited later.

I have started by using the "When a new user is created" trigger in Power Automate, but I'm struggling with:

  • How to get the user's email and display name.
  • How to attach files dynamically from OneDrive or SharePoint.
  • How to create a draft email in Outlook instead of sending it immediately.

Has anyone implemented something similar, or can you point me to resources or examples to help me complete this flow?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
