Flow to Email Individual Documents from a Document Set

[ajoconnell]

Hi!

I'm fairly new to Power Automate and I'm looking to create a flow that will take the each document in a document set and send individual emails with the document attached.

The Document Set:

The "Example" set:

I've tried "Get file content" but I keep getting an error.  Are there any better ways to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Is the 'Get File content' action block the one that throws an error? If so, which 'File identifier' are you using as its input?

Any screenshot from your Flow design and/or execution error is appreciated

Thanx!

Hi @efialttes ,

The trigger I used was a manual "For a selected file"

For "Get File Properties" I used the ID from "For a selected file" and for "Get File Content" I used the "Get File Properties" identifier.

Hi again

Thanx for the screenshot!

I've just implemented these three steps and the execution succeeds.

Can you specify a bit more what do you mean when mentioned that 'I've tried "Get file content" but I keep getting an error'?

Thanx!

BTW here you are a couple of links to resources on Document Sets and Microsoft Flow

The error I get is:

{

"status": 404,

"message": "File not found\r\nclientRequestId: 0fcf9aaa-fdf6-4ad2-9440-644b7319a81d\r\nserviceRequestId: 0fcf9aaa-fdf6-4ad2-9440-644b7319a81d"

}

I think you should doublecheck the value currently assigned as 'Get file content' File Identifier.

On the execution screenshot your shared, I see your file identifier does not include the file extension.

Now, when I successfully execute my test flow, I can see the file extension:

Please hover your mouse over the dynamic content you currently has assigned as 'File identifier' input and verify it matches with the one I assigned

body('Get_file_properties')?['{Identifier'}]

Hope this helps

Weird 🤔

Is it 'Site address' the same in both action blocks?

Did you try to remove and add the 'Get file content' action block again?

And, doublecheck if the connection your are currently using for these two action blocks is the same?

And, make sure you are executing the flow, I mean not using 'Test' option 'Using data from previous runs' from Designer view?

Thanx!

After some troubleshooting, I was able to finally achieve what I was looking to do.  

Using a Document Set, I needed to upload multiple documents and have an email sent with each file attached to one document set manually:

In the "Example" doc set, there are three files:

Flow trigger "Document Transmission":

Once triggered, it sends off three different emails :

OMG!

That's the reason why there was not an extension on your 'Get file properties' File Identifier output!

Congrats! Please note I've just marked your last reply as 'Solution'. I think it will be very helful for others facing this same issue.

Thanks for spending some time to share the way you fix it!
