Hey @sandeepcrush

I've tried it myself. You could use a list but thought of an even easier way. You can simply save the images to your document library as 1,2,3,4,5.jpg etc.

Then use rand(1,5) in a compose and use the compose string in the ile identifier.

For the file identifier, I had to convert / and spaces into unicode hex.

For example
%252fShared%2bDocuments%252fGeneral%252f3.jpg
OR
%252fShared%2bDocuments%252fGeneral%252f@{outputs('Compose')}.jpg

Hi @sandeepcrush,

if you are confident attaching files to an email, why don't you use the function rand(1,5) to generate a random number from 1 to 5 and using that answer look up an image with column image number 1 to 5 in a sharepoint list? Or have a condition statement for image 1 to 5 based on the random number.
