Display image from SharePoint on my bot

[k1ng]

I am having issues with the flow, "SharePoint:  Get file contact using path"... I guess don't know how to port back to PVA.  The flow goes through however it's an URL to get the picture not the picture?  The "image" var is not even loaded after the flow is completed...  What I am missing to display the image not download?  

Thanks!

Hi @k1ng  ,

Unfortunately, you will not able to use the Sharepoint image on the chatbot.

Why? Because Sharepoint has a security and you only can show public images on the chat for the user.

Also, you need to use a markdown to show images on the chatbot, like [label](image_path) like this: Returning an image as a message - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Thanks for the insight @renatoromao.  Even if I make the user log into the chat through SSO or something?  That sounds weird that we can't use sharepoint 365, everyone has approval to access the site..

Let me know!

@k1ng ,

I never tried using SSO, but I don't think so that will work.

Basically, the context of the bot conversation is public (if you publish in a custom website channel, everyone has access to use it) and SharePoint is a private system, that you need to use your credentials. 

In theory, the context is different and the public cannot access private data.
