Hi,

I'm wanting to send an email out with an image and some information.

I have a Concat formula already which details the information. I

now want to add an attachment to the email that relates to the information. The Concat formula is

Office365.SendEmail(
"Email address", (Receptiant email is included in original formula)
"Perimeter Check Issues",
Concat(Perimeterissue,
"Building: " & Building & Char(10) &
"Area: " & Title & Char(10) &
"Comments: " & Comments & Char(10),
"Issue: " & Issue & Char(10) & Char(10)
)
)

'Perimeterissue' is the name of my collection which also contains the image.

The Collection is triggered by Clicking on the Camera function

Collect(
Perimeterissue,
{
Title: txtChecklistSpecificArea.Text,
Image: txtChecklistSpecificArea.Text & " .jpg",ContentBytes:Camera1.Photo,'@odata.type':"",
Hint: txtChecklistDescription.Text,
Building: drpSelectedBuilding.Selected.Result,
Issue: RadChecklist.Selected.Value,
Comments: txtChecklistComments.Text,
CheckedBy: txtCheckedBy.Text,
Date: txtDate.Text,
Time: txttime.Text
}
);
Reset(RadChecklist);
Reset(txtChecklistComments);

Any assistance would be grateful

HI @ClarkyPA365

Can you try to update your expressions as:

Collection Creation:

Collect(
Perimeterissue,
{
Title: txtChecklistSpecificArea.Text,
Name: txtChecklistSpecificArea.Text & " .jpg",ContentBytes:Camera1.Photo,'@odata.type':"",
Hint: txtChecklistDescription.Text,
Building: drpSelectedBuilding.Selected.Result,
Issue: RadChecklist.Selected.Value,
Comments: txtChecklistComments.Text,
CheckedBy: txtCheckedBy.Text,
Date: txtDate.Text,
Time: txttime.Text
}
);
Reset(RadChecklist);
Reset(txtChecklistComments);

Attachments in the outlook connector expects its columns to be Name and ContentBytes.

Send Email:

Office365.SendEmail(
"Email address", (Receptiant email is included in original formula)
"Perimeter Check Issues",
Concat(Perimeterissue,
"Building: " & Building & Char(10) &
"Area: " & Title & Char(10) &
"Comments: " & Comments & Char(10),
"Issue: " & Issue & Char(10) & Char(10)
),

{Attachments:ShowColumns(Perimeterissue,"Name","ContentBytes")}
)

This will add the attachments in your email. This supports more than 1 attachment based on the collection.

Hope this Helps!

Hi @yashag2255

Thanks for your reply.

I've amended my formulas to the changes you have hi-lighted.

The send email formula is show red underlining

Office365.SendEmail(
"Email",
"Perimeter Check Issues",
(Concat(Perimeterissue,
"Building: " & Building & Char(10) &
"Area: " & Title & Char(10) &
"Comments: " & Comments & Char(10) &
"Issue: " & Issue & Char(10) & Char(10)
),
{Attachments:(Perimeterissue,"Name","ContentBytes")}
)

Where you have emoji and howcolumns what needs to be here?

Hi @yashag2255

Thanks for that couldn't find a formula howcolumns. Not sure why the emoji displays in the community form but not in the email I get???

I still seem to be getting an error against th last 'Comma' before the curly brace {Attachment........

Error Msg Unexpected characters. The formula contains 'ParenClose' where comma is expected.

Hi @ClarkyPA365

I think the error is occurring because of the body passed in email, there is a comma in between which might cause this issue. Can you try below expression:

Office365.SendEmail(
"Email address",
"Perimeter Check Issues",
Concat(Perimeterissue,
"Building: " & Building & Char(10) &
"Area: " & Title & Char(10) &
"Comments: " & Comments & Char(10) &
"Issue: " & Issue & Char(10) & Char(10)
),

{Attachments: ShowColumns(Perimeterissue,"Name","ContentBytes")}
)

Hope this Helps!

Hi

Solved it.

I had a opening bracket before the Concat. Doh!!!!!

Removed that and it works perfectly.

Thanks for your help
