Sending an email with attachment

[flowuser-21]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to design a flow which sends an email with attachment when a task is created?

I'm performing the following actions resulting in my flow to fail:

What should I put under attachment name and attachment content?

Is there any thing else that needs to be changed?

Hi @flowuser-21 

Please see the screenshot below:

Expression used in the append variable:

body('Get_attachment_content')['$content']

Note: Get Attachments is a list of attachments that are returned from the item. We have to parse each of those and create an array of attachments and then pass that array in the attachments option of the send email action. 

Hope this Helps!

The flow runs fine but the email is sent *without* attachments.

The path to the folder where the attachments are present do contain some word files and images.

Hi @flowuser-21 

Can you please share a screenshot of the flow. Just want to check if we are not missing any refrence.

Hello @yashag2255 ,

The flow is working fine after making a few changes.

1. Get attachment wasn't able to fetch files from another list so I changed it's path to the list where item is created and flow is triggered. 

2. The final step of sending an email was merged with the body from the previous step. 

Thanks a lot for your help @yashag2255 .

Hi @flowuser-21 

Glad that it worked. Please note that this will send multiple emails for multiple attachments. To send a single email for all attachments, you will have to move the email action out of the apply to each loop. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Soko19 

In the append to array variable action what is the expression that you are using for content bytes? You can simply choose the attachment content from the dynamic selector under the Get attachment content action outputs. 

Hope this Helps!
