Posted on by Anonymous9999

Hello Everyone,

At first, I am generating different file contents in PDF format using OneDrive Convert File (Preview). That means, 1st file content(pdf) generated for Role1, 2nd file content(pdf) generated from Role2 and so on up to 5 roles.

Now I want to send an email with this file content as an attachment based on the current role. How can do that? Please guide on this.

Thank you in advance.

You need to build an array of the attachments you wish to send, and then add them into the email after clicking the little "T" icon in the top right hand corner of the Attachments Name and Attachments Content panel.

Here's a step-by-step to walk you through it:

Hi , @Anonymous9999
According to your description, you are using the OneDrive Convert File (Preview) to three files.
For each operation, the corresponding fileContent will be generated, and you can choose the file Content you need to pass as "Attachments Content" according to your needs and you can input the file name in "Attachments Name":
And if you want to pass more than one Attachment, you can click this to add the Attachments.

If I misunderstand what you mean, you can describe your needs and your expected outcomes in detail so that we can better help you.

Best Regards,
Yueyun Zhang

Hello @Rhiassuring ,

Thanks for responding. Your solution is helpful to some extent, I tried it and now stuck at one point. While doing the send an email with option, I am facing the following error "OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed. The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Send_email_with_options' of type 'OpenApiConnectionWebhook' is not valid. Error details: The API operation 'SendMailWithOptions' is missing required property 'optionsEmailSubscription/Message/Attachments/0/ContentBytes'". Everything is working as expected at the Approval Step, but only problem with the send email one. Adding all the screenshot's, how my flow looks like. Thank you in advance.

It seems to think that the content is missing.

I notice that in your screenshot, you're using a base64() expression, but in the article I sent you, they get the actual Attachment Content, and that's what goes into the array.

I'm not sure why it's working for the Approval action you've shown, but I'd wager that you need to change it for the Email With Options.
