I get an error Invalid Template

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ant-man 6

 What I like to accomplish is following:

 

When I add a file in a specific folder it should open my outlook email and create a new blank email with the added file as an attachment. After the proces is done it must delete the file from the folder.

 

I get following error:

Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The repetition action(s) 'Apply_to_each' referenced by 'inputs' in action 'Compose' are not defined in the template.'.'
 

This is how my flow looks like:

Any suggestions in here for a solution?

    Hi @ant-man ,

     

    I did a test and it was successful.  My question is what is the purpose of the compose and the apply to each?  If the trigger is when a new file is created, it's going to fire on each file created and the compose is the email content for the send an email (V2) - I am just putting those details in the V2 action (I didn't see where you are referencing your compose) but again, I was able to get an email and see the file deleted.  I did put a 1 minute delay in there, may not be necessary but added to ensure the email went out before deleting.

     

    If this works for you, please mark as a solution so others can find it quickly too!  Always glad to help!  Tom

    I tried to do my compose once again and then it worked as a charm.

    I accepted your solution and thanks for quick response.
