Sending Images from PowerApps to Microsoft Flow

[Anonymous]

Is it currently possible to send a captured image from PowerApps to Microsoft flow?

The basic idea of the app is to take a picture with the camera control then pass the image to a Microsoft flow which will then send an email with the image as an attachment.

Hi Dan,

This cannot be done so far as you cannot pass the image to Flow. Please consider to submit a idea in PowerApps Idea forum, so it might be considered for future releases.

Hi both.  From this article it would seem it is possible to send attachments directly from PowerApps.

@v-monli-msft I have written the following post on this, could you please clarify what is possible?

I was able to send images from PowerApps > Flow > SharePoint Library using this example (http://www.techmikael.com/2017/05/an-even-more-clever-workaround-for.html) it is using Azure functions and not so "NO-CODE"...but I'm assuming that you should be able to get creating and send the images elsewhere from flow. Maybe Powerapps will get to a point were stuff like this is truly no code.
