Hi
I am working on a power app form which is used to get few details along with attachment, which is then fed to another flow and then finally sent as an email, updated in sharepoint list.
My power app has an attachment datacard and submit button. I am trying to send the email attachment name and content through submit button to flow using below formulas (neither of them are working). I am new to power app and not able to figure this out.
Flow.Run(Form.LastSubmit.Attachments)
Flow.Run(first(Form.LastSubmit.Attachments).Value)
Could anyone please help me or point me to the documentation for my scenario /other threads? Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Spawn ,
I made a test on my side to pass the attachment files to Flow successfully. please check the following steps.
1. add a image in the screen, set image property as follows, this is to convert files to base64 format. ( set it invisible )
Last(DataCardValue3.Attachments).Value
2. add the following code at the begining of Submit.OnSelect property:
Set(VarJSON,JSON(Image1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));
Set(VarBase64,Mid(VarJSON,Find(",", VarJSON)+1,Len(VarJSON)-Find(",", VarJSON)-1));
FlowName.Run(Last(DataCardValue3.Attachments).Name,VarBase64) // two attachemnt parameters
3. In the flow, add a Compose action before 'Send email with options', set Inputs:
base64ToBinary(triggerBody()['Sendemailwithoptions_AttachmentsContent-1'])
4. set the AttachmentsContent-1 field value to Outputs of above action.
The overview of App and flow:
Test Result:
Hope this helps.

Hi @Spawn ,
If you only want to send the files in attachment control as email attachments, there is no need to go through MS flow, for more information, please check Shane's video PowerApps Email Attachments with the office 365 connector and attachment control
If you are trying to save the attachment files to Sharepoint via flow, please check another excellent video from Shane about it. PowerApps upload file to SharePoint document library
Hope this helps.

Hi Sik
Thank you for responding! I am automating a workflow and I need this process to send other details over email. [Along with those details, I also need to attach the file]. This is why I chose this approach.
Power App Form -> Flow -> Email kick off -> Sharepoint updated based on the email response. I did check Shane's videos, they were really helpful, but not in this particular context/scenario.
Here is the image showing the code I used in Power App and the Flow setup of Attachment in email.
Hi @Spawn ,
Yes, I'm willing to help you figure out it if you can elaborate more about your trouble and context of situation
Please share more details about your requirement and what you have done.

Thank you! Here is the req: Need to send form to users who fill in the details and attach a file. These details along with file should be sent in an email to executives and based on the response (approve/deny) , a sharepoint list should be updated.
A power app captures details and attachment. Then form has a submit button kicking off a flow triggering an email to executive and then update a sharepoint list. Below are the images. While I am able to push all details to the flow from Submit button using Form.LastSubmit , not able to send the attachments this way [highlighted the attachments options].

Hi Sik
Thank you for the detailed reply; appreciate you help!!. I have tested the approach and got the flow to send the image. However, in the email received, the file is not displaying the image correctly.
Also, for others who might read this, I could not get the file name working using First(DataCardValue3.Attachments).Name in the Flow.Run(). It was throwing invalid parameter error. Instead, I added below var in OnSelect of submit.
Set(VarName,First(DataCardValue3.Attachments).Name);
and then set VarName as property in a text box and made it invisible. At last used the VarName in Flow.Run() to pass the attachment name. That successfully passed all details [Including Name and image value] to flow.
The flow and power app are working as expected now for some reason, i.e. sending out attachments correctly.
I am not sure why, but I think something fixed the issue, when I was tweaking with options in flow [ like Use HTML only etc] , it started working as expected . Your solution works perfectly Sik! Appreciate your quick response and help!
Dear @v-siky-msft and @Spawn ,
I came across this same kind of requirement.
my input form has 10 input fields along with attachment control, I wanted to pass all input fields information along with multiple attachments ( base64 string ) to power automate in order to call a API in power automate. this base64 sting will be used in http API connector in power automate.
Could you please suggest how can I pass more than 1 attachment along with these 10 input fields. currently I am able to pass the 10 fields information to power automate and call the API.
Thanks,
Hi Siky,
Is it possible to send multiple attachment to flow from powerapps?
