I want to build an Power Virtual Assistants to handle sick leave in my company.

I want that the employee can upload an doctor's confirmation if he got one.
Is there a possibility to do this in Virtual Assistants?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Yes, you can use the Bot Framework to do it.
While Microsoft provides better in-app support for this, you can do the following,

Deploy a custom web-canvas (see documentation) that supports attaching images / files
Upload the image / file to your own Azure Blob storage
Send the URL as a message activity (response to a question node) so that it gets assigned to a variable
Use that URL in Flow / Skills to achieve your desired outcome
Microsoft provided a github sample that attempts to mimic this capability.

Using only Power Virtual Agents, you can vote here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Attach-file-to-Power-Virtual-Agents/idi-p/461708

Hi Renato, lookslike this solution is suitable for my use case (same with thread creator usecase). But could you please elaborate more and easier for non tech user like me?

a. So is this solution can work on PVA on microsoft teams?
b. The storage itself can moved to sharepoint folder? I want the file on sharepoint folder instead of azure blob.

thank you for your assistance!
