Create file and send via eFax

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I have created a flow wherein a Word template is populated by an Excel sheet table, then the resulting Word doc created and saved to a Sharepoint folder, then the Word file is converted to pdf and also saved to the same Sharepoint folder, then the pdf is attached to an email addressed to our eFax number, and sent.  Everything works, both files are created in Sharepoint, but then I get this error message:

 

"The fax you recently sent through eFax Solutions to 1XXXXXXXXXX did not go through because there was no message to send. Before you re-send your fax again, be sure the document you wish to send is properly attached. If you want to include a cover page, simply write your information in the body of the email."

 

eFax always requires a file to be attached (typically Word or pdf), which is exactly what I did.  I even added a time delay to ensure the files are created before the eFax email is generated.  No luck.

 

Can anyone help me?  I have attached the flow steps, as well as a screenshot of the Send an Email step, showing the file is attached.
