add a form attachment to an email

[Anonymous]

I have a form set up where people can attach a screenshot of their issues. Then an email goes out to the correct person that can help them with the problem. How can I attach that attachment to the email going out?

Thanks

Hi 

This is for a form on group. I think i'm missing something I get this error.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If the form submission does not contains attachments, this error will display.

Please check this similar thread and use condition to check if the response contains files:

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous 

You have to check if the user has added any attachments or not. I have explained the same towards the end in this post: https://www.bythedevs.com/post/working-with-files-on-ms-forms-in-ms-power-automate

Hope this Helps!

Thank you sir, took care of this issue 

Now I can find Attachment when trying to create the email. 

I think I have something wrong in the setup on the screenshot. How do I do the FXBody?

[yashag2255]

Hi @Anonymous 

So you need to remove that body from the append to array variable action and select the content from the dynamic selector that is the output of the get content via path action. 

Hope this helps!

I'm having issue with the append to array variable. 

Can you describe step by step what I need to enter in the value?

Thank you

Hi @yashag2255 ,

Please check this similar thread to get file content and append the file content to the array variable:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Multiple-picture-in-email-from-Forms/td-p/512063

If the form is the group form, you could replace the Get file content-OneDrive for Business connector with Get file using path-SharePoint connector:

O365-Group-Form-responses-with-attachments-to-Sharepoint-List

Then if you encounter the error like "No input parameters provided. Please provide required input parameters 'To', 'Subject' and 'Body'.\r\nclientRequestId", please check the comments in this blog:

https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/multiple-attachments-single-email/

Please take a try and feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

OK I got this to work but now I need to add a condition in case there is no attachment 

I have tried this solution https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Flow-failed-if-no-attachment-in-Microsoft-Forms/m...

but it will not let me add the initialize variable that I need, it keeps telling me that it can only be at top level. 

Any idea what I should do?

Thanks

This is how I have it setup and and this is the error I get 

Can anyone help?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try to refer to the method provided by me in this thread:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Flow-failed-if-no-attachment-in-Microsoft-Forms/m-p/516582#M65704

Use length() function to check if there are attachments in the form response.

Fill the Dynamic content corresponding to the attachment in Compose and configure the output of Compose in length() function.

Besides, you need to fill file content output from Get file content using path action in Append to array variable.

Please take a try again.

Thank you

Unfortunately, I keep getting this message when trying to move Initialize Variable to the Condition YES box.

Any idea?

All of these are working with regular form, mine is a group form and the attachment is being saved to SharePoint. 

If I put a condition like in the example. it doesn't let me move the initialize variable to the condition under the Parse JSON

See the attached screenshot. Do you know a way around this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You should initialize a variable below Get response details action.

You only need to configure Append to an array action in Apply to each.

And Send an email action that needs to be configured outside Apply to each.

Hope that makes sense.
