Hi everyone,

I started learning power automate recently. I got a scenario recently that i will be having a word document in my SharePoint i want to read that file and the content as it is in my Email body. Can anyone tell me how i do this.

I tried something but it's not working.

I'm attaching my flow screenshot

Code I have written in email body is : body('Get_file_content_using_path')

    Hi @creativeopinion  thanks for the reply

    I don't want to send file as attachment in email. I want to send the word file content as it is with same format in email body as text format.

     

    When i use get file content activity I'm getting output like below. When i use this content in my email body it's giving unwanted special characters and wrong stuff.

    @PrathapReddy1 You can reference this portion of a YT Tutorial where I cover how to attach SharePoint List attachments to an email. The concept is the same. You just need to use the appropriate dynamic content in the attachment fields.
