Multiple Email Attachments using Power Automate Desktop

(0) Share

Posted on by gdcathey

Hi - I'm new to Power Automate Desktop and am running into an issue attempting to send Outlook Email with multiple attachments. I am currently using the "Get Files in Folder" action to get the file into a variable (I do this for the 3 files I want to send). When I configure the Send Email using one variable in the Attachments section - it sends the email and attachment no problem. When I use two variables (put in double quotes and separated by a space) - the email gets sent but no attachments are on the email. Doing something wrong?

"%Doc[0]%" "%Doc[1]%"

That would be the proper syntax for the first two files in the List %Doc%; however, you should also just be able to put %Doc% in the Attachments and it will email all files in the list, if that is an option. %Doc% is a list of files, so the syntax of [0] is how you reference the first item on the list, then [1], [2], etc.

Best of luck!

Thank you! I wasn't very clear, but I do the "Get Files in Folder" 3 separate times and filtering to a specific file (creating 3 variables) - so was just attempting to attach using the 3 separate variables. If instead, I just select mutliple files from that Attachments option - that works fine as well. It's just trying to use the Variables that seems to be the issue.

Ahhh. Because "Get Files" is always a list, even if you only have one file, so you need it like this:

"%Doc1[0]%" "%Doc2[0]%"

Best of luck!
