Hi Team,

Is there a way to provide user an option to select attachments in Power Virtual Agent ?

Thanks,

Hi @ankjain30 ,

Not yet.

I created the idea here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Attach-file-to-Power-Virtual-Agents/idi-p/46170...

Please, make the answer like a solution to help more users!

Thanks! 🙂

Hi @ankjain30 ,

Is there any pending thing?

You can use the Bot Framework to do it.

While Microsoft provides better in-app support for this, you can do the following,

1. Deploy a custom web-canvas (see documentation) that supports attaching images / files
2. Upload the image / file to your own Azure Blob storage
3. Send the URL as a message activity (response to a question node) so that it gets assigned to a variable
4. Use that URL in Flow / Skills to achieve your desired outcome

Microsoft provided a github sample that attempts to mimic this capability.

Using only Power Virtual Agents, you can vote here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Attach-file-to-Power-Virtual-Agents/idi-p/46170...
