Sending multiple files in one email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi everyone,

 

I have a task to automate the sending of greeting cards to email via Power Automate.
But my colleagues receive several letters instead of one, how can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

 

I have two files on onedrive that are inserted into different contexts of the email
I select two files via get file content

Next I’ll add compose to each file:

 

 

dataUri(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body'])
dataUri(outputs('Get_file_content_2')?['body'])

 

 

screen2.jpg


Variables:

 

 

concat(' <img src="',outputs('Compose'), '" width = "650" height = "366" alt ="" />')
concat(' <img src="',outputs('Compose_2'), '" width = "220" height = "70" alt ="" />')

And I add it to the sending of the email itself:

    Hi @micron1390 ,

     

    Based on the screenshot you provided, your 'Send an Email' action is not within a loop. Therefore, this flow will only send an email once each time it runs. The issue of receiving multiple emails, as you described, might be due to the flow being triggered multiple times, causing the 'Send an Email' action to execute repeatedly. Please check the flow's trigger and ensure that the interval set for triggering the flow is not too short.

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,

    Thank you for the reply.

    > Please check the flow's trigger and ensure that the interval set for triggering the flow is not too short.

    Please clarify, I have several created the flow that can reach several times a month, how can I configure them correctly or what should be the interval set for triggering between the flow?

    For example,
    The first flow triggered correctly, only once, but the next the flow triggered multiple times two, three times each.

    Hi @micron1390 ,

     

    If you only want this flow to run once a month, the trigger should be configured as follows:

    Yes, thanks.
    But I have several the flows in Power Automate and they all run once a year. One the flow runs once, and the other several times:
