Email Attachments in Flow

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am making a workflow for a SharePoint list. I want to send an email notification when a new item is created. However, I am not able to include attachments from the list to the email.

Below is my flow:

Beginning of My Flow.PNG

My question is, how do I add the array to the "attachments" section of the email?

End of My Flow.PNG

I would greatly appreciate an answer from Flow experts!

*Note: I did try using the "Compose" action instead of the "Initialize variable" action, but the emails coming from the Flow do NOT allow me to open documents. With the "Compose" action, I was able to create a variable and include that "Output" in the Attachments Content section of the email... However, that did not function properly (as noted, I was not able to open documents).

Hi,

Now that you have stored the file name and contents of the attachment in a variable, you can configure the variable directly in the Attachments field.

Hi @Anonymous,

Have your problem been solved?

As @rookie said, please switch to input entire array for the attachments by click the icon below:

I attached the Attachment Array as you showed:

However, my problem isn't resolved. Despite attaching the array, I get errors for the Flow.

Am I skipping a step or missing something?

Hi @Anonymous,

I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

Could you please share more details about the error message in the "Send an email" action when the flow run failed?

Please share the full error message with me so we would try to provide a proper workaround for you.

Here is the full error message:

{
"status": 400,
"message": "No input parameters provided. Please provide required input parameters 'To', 'Subject' and 'Body'.\r\nclientRequestId: 2d6934f6-5b0f-42de-bb0e-367cdc0545fd",
"source": "office365-ncus.azconn-ncus.p.azurewebsites.net"
}

This is odd, because I have included content in the "To", "Subject", and "Body" sections.

Hi @Anonymous,

The error message told that you haven't enter information for To, Subject and Body of the email in the Send an email action.

Please make sure to add value to the To, Subject and Body of the email in the Send an email action, make sure to save the flow, and then run the flow to see if the issue still exists.

Please let me know if your problem could be solved.

Did this ever get resolved as I have had the same issue.
All the fields are completed but I get the same error message.

Yes! The issue has been resolved. The error was in the "Append to array variable" step. Here is what worked:
