ERROR - Send email with attachment using Get file Content from Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dmark

I use 'Get File Content' and get file id from the sharepoint Library to use as attachment.

 

Than I 'Send Email' using what I got from above for the Attachment to the email.

 

I get an error 500 - Internal Server error and I can't figure out why.  Anyone can give me some directions where to look?

    Hi @dmark,

     

    You cannot use the file id in the File Identifier field. You need to whether fill with the Identifier dynamic content or pick the file from the dropdown list.

    Just created a test flow and this worked for me:

    Hi,

     

    I am trying to get files from 2 document libraries same way using get file content action. I wanted to give specific names to both files but its not working. I tried couple of things mentioned as below :

     

    1.  Attachments Name : abc.xlsx  xyz.docx

     

    2.  Attachments Name : abc.xlsx ; xyz.docx

     

    But its taking as a single file name. I dont know why?

     

    How to use get file content action multiple times and how to give file names in case with multiple attachments in email. Can anyone please help me?
