How can you know this info (sharepoint id of the list item to attach the file to.)? am trying to use flow sharepoint attachement

[warsongg00]

hello everyone am stuck for the past few hours on this  at flow, dont know how to get the ID of one of the sharepoint columns named"attachement" i created PDF file in flow and want to attach that file to sharepoint list item, but stuck with this ID

You have not explained how you generate the PDF and how you trigger the flow. So I don't know the context of your flow.

1. If you trigger it from a Canvas app then in the flow you can create a variable and set the value to "Ask in PowerApps". Then in Canvas app, and when you submit a form that Edits/Creates a record  in your SharePoint list, you can pass the ID of that record to the flow.

2. If you generate the PDF by an automatic flow, then you must have your sharepoint record in the context of your flow to be able to generate a word, html, PDF file. how do you populate the PDF content?

i followed this tutorial

https://poszytek.eu/en/microsoft-en/office-365-en/flow-en/powerapps-hand-written-signature/

do i need to add more commands in submit button beside the ones he typed in the website?

Well, if you need the ID of the record in your flow, then you must send the ID to your flow on the Onsuccess of the form

SignDocument.Run(Form1.LastSubmit.ID)

Hey @warsongg00 I have a video that shows a different way to accomplish all of this thanks to the new-ish JSON function. Based on the blog you posted I think this should help. Save PowerApps Pen Inpu to PDF, SharePoint, and More

[warsongg00]

thanks for the video , can you check the article https://poszytek.eu/en/microsoft-en/office-365-en/flow-en/powerapps-hand-written-signature/

and tell us how he did it step by step, i want to know what he did at the end , why add attachement failed for me

[warsongg00]

just following ur tutorial but, it didnt teach me how to show the picture in the list, i had column named attachements, but nothing showing in it, i have tried to add in flow add attachement to sharepoint but nothing is showing

[warsongg00]

if possible can you teach us how to attach the output into list column itself? so each push can save new customer data with their signature link to the image created or pdf

If you follow Shane's video, you just need to make a few small changes. Instead of creating a file in a SharePoint Library, you would need to use SharePoint Add Attachment action in your flow.

I'm passing both of the highlighted values in the above picture, on OnSuccess of my PowerApps form:

Then I submit my Form:

Now I have my signature, attached to my record in the SharePoint list:
