AutoFlow to attach last file uploaded in a folder within an email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Laith_Zureigat 7

Hi, 

I am trying to build a flow where it could find the last uploaded file in a folder, attach that file in an email and then send it. 

i have tried to pull the file path by using the " get files (Properties only) "  and then use the path to lookup the file using " get file content " 
but this flow is not working

    You have to select the „Site address“ (use the same as in the step before)

    I don’t have the same Sites as you, so snapshots won’t be useful.

     

    You already provided a screenshot. The error message says that you have to provide the Site Address. Just provide the same Site Address as in your step before (get files (Properties only)).

    There is no message error, it just does not work (does not send email with attached file ) whenever i upload a file to that folder

    Ok, please send a screenshot of the flow history and the part where the mail is sent. And also a screenshot of the completely expanded mail action. Right now I don’t think the get file content is your problem even though every screenshot is about this action.
