Please, can anyone in the community provide a little suggestion on how to email a PDF file using SendMail?
Button OnSelect: Office365.SendEmail(User().Email,"Your Package is on its Way!",txtEmailBody,{Importance: Normal, IsHtml:true, {Attachments:Table({Name:"file1.pdf", ContentBytes:??????.???, '@odata.type':""}) });
1) I can't work out what the ContentBytes should be for a PDF;
2) Where should I put the "file1.PDF" so that SendMail can find it?
All of the excellent examples I've found demonstrate how to send a pic from a camera.
Thank you in advance.
Chris
Thanks for thinking about this. It is the 'workaround' I've resorted to: SendMail to the current user who then has to manually attach the PDF and resend. Not really elegant, is it, not to mention error prone--since the App is even more dependent on user.
It's hard to believe that this is such an unusual request--attaching a PDF in much the same way one might attach a .jpg. But there it is. I am confident that the PowerApps gods are working feverishly on a good solution--but there are probably many other "good" ideas on which they work.
Thanks for your help. And to all the others who have applied some thought to this current PowerApp deficiency.
Hi @ChrisChong
Just wonder, can you Launch(email) and then attach PDF out of PowerApps?
I know this is not the right method, but at least a workaround, if you wish to.
Thanks
Thanks for asking. The source of my PDF: SharePoint.
Thank you for your response. You could be right what you describe as an issue. However, the 'workaround' you suggest does not work for me. I have a PDF I would like to include in an email generated by my App.
Perhaps the lack of a workable response is an indication that it cannot currently be done?

I think the issue here is there is no file uploader available in PowerApps.
So it is not available for PowerApps to get the actual PDF file content.
For a workaround, read the following blog and see if it helps in your scenario:
Convert PowerApps data to PDF and send it as an email
