Flow takes Record type when it should be an Image/File

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

I am trying to pass an image uploaded from PowerApps to a Flow (and ultimately insert it into a Word Template). The last parameter in my flow is an Image, as shown below:

When I try to run the Flow via OnSelect of a button, the last argument accepts only a Record and not an Image:

Did I do something wrong while creating the flow?

    I think images are records and I think they have at least 3 properties. Files may have the same structure. Something like:

     

    {
     Id: "ImageName.png",
     DisplayName: "ImageName.png",
     Value: ImageValue 
    }

     
    I think Value stores the Base64 representation of the image

    I was unable to get this method to work so I tried this solution instead
