sending collection as attachment without automate

[Rbie]

Hi,

I have a small apps that send a collection as a list in the body via outlook, like

ClearCollect(myCSV;{csvString:"AssetID"&Char(10)});;
ForAll(
ScannedAssets;
Patch(
myCSV;
First(myCSV);
{csvString: First(myCSV).csvString&AssetID&Char(10)})
);;

Set(myList;First(myCSV).csvString);;

Office365Outlook.SendEmail("myEmail@MyCompany.com"; "AssetList"; myList)

This works.

I was just wondering if it possible to send this as an attachment, so they don't have to cut and paste this into a text file ?

Hi @Rbie ,

Not easily as you need to turn it in to file rather than a bunch of Text. This may be possible with the process in this video from Shane Young, but you need a Premium connector (and therefore licence) to do it. It is however very easy using Power Automate - just create a file in OneDrive with the content and email it.

Hi Warren,

Thanks for the reply, the solution in the video doesn't really work for me as I don't want the user to choose a file.

I'll just stay with the solution I have atm.
I was just curious if it could be done.
